lyrics

(After E. Montale)

Walking at noon, rapt and burnt
The crumbling paths and scorching dirt
The ocean all kinds of blue

Blackbirds and snakes on the bare peaks
Their tremolo screech from the hillside
Down below the beach is never low tide

Going along under a dazzling sun
To feel with sad wonder
How all of life will become this

Suspicions grow too easily here
Scavengers on the wing
Over surf, and over rock
And land’s end’s closing on in

We sit and watch the waves coming in
We sit and watch the waves coming closer
We sit and watch the waves coming closer in
We sit and watch the waves coming – land’s end’s closing on in

Bring the guitars with the rusted strings
Sit on the sand as some fool sings
Languid tales of eternal things
Gently rock while the tension sings
Bring the guitars with the rusted strings
Sit on the sand as some fool sings
Languid tales of eternal things
But I can hear a different clarinet that sings
