lyrics

ALONG LONG ISLAND SOUND


Along the side of the bow,
lucky waves will evolve
into clouds who stir and spill.


On the wind-whipped moon,
like a cuticle rune
filed away and never read.


By the wind in her swoon,
with her blue, barren womb,
every kiss was a wish for rain.


But the rain would go mad,
become snow with a laugh
along Long Island Sound.


Where the icebergs conspire,
just like barbs on a wire
along Long Island Sound.


Do I bring out the worst in the ocean?
Why do the waves spell out my name?


Along Long Island Sound.


And our cats will escape;
they will look for a mate
along Long Island Sound.


Where the skies are all scraped
by the Empire State
along Long Island Sound.
