Summer night, Ocean city oh that pier, she looks so pretty
all made up in flashing lights
Couples walk by hand in hand leaving footprints in the sand
artifacts from here and now
To my left some spoiled kid too angry for the life he lives
To my right some kind of clown
Talkin' sweet about his baby oh she lives in New York City
Going up to see her soon
And there's a lady in the corner singing songs for star-crossed-lovers
same as every other week
She's got a tip jar at her feet just does her best to make ends meet and all the tourists come to see
And I don't got nowhere to go so I'll just sit here drinking slow. Let her voice arrest my soul
Take me someplace far away oh I'll just lay out in the shade
Count mistakes I've never made
Now the clown he's gone away a clean cut stranger takes his place
Sunday best on Friday night
He's shootin glances at the door he's all dressed up to get stood up
It's clear to everyone but him
And I don't got nowhere to go so I'll just sit here drinking slow. Let her voice arrest my soul
Take me someplace far away oh I'll just lay out in the shade
count mistakes I've never made
And I don't got nowhere to go so I'll just sit here drinking slow. Let her voice arrest my soul
Take me someplace far away oh I'll just lay out in the shade
count mistakes, count mistakes I've never made
Autumn night, Ocean City oh that pier, she looks so pretty
I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
I love these women. the voices mesh together perfectly; also the world music is exceptional. I have all of their albums and they're all excellent. Give them a listen. Steve Lake
