Whitstable Rock Lyrics

Dead until proven living he said to me

Over rolling hills of power lines bicycle boy is still un-free

Sea salted knuckles wrapped around words without weight

I've got so much to say but no more ways to say it

Brother it's getting late

Souls caught in coffee cups behind these shades they cry

Lured by billboard beauty pinned up against the sky

Can you tell me did they take the bait?

There's flames behind every strangers eyes I just know there is

Brother it's getting late

Meet me on the key to the west

You know you know I've got something to confess

Flashing red signals on my face as I wait

The flood lights in the dark water

Brother it's getting late

The stones split on the beach we sit

Nothing but love in silence between the murmurs that this is it

I'm sounding dumb but at peace at the end of this long wait

See the tears in my eyes there's so much left unsaid

But brother it's getting late

In the midnight spot light I think everything will be fine

Time stops for me to cry in my car just one more time

With the clashes of rigging digging into masts ticking clocks they create

Forever lost at sea but maybe that's just me

Brother it's getting late

Maybe I'm nostalgic for something that never belonged to me

These strangers, just you and me in this room with some poetry

These bad actors on every corner leave my future up to fate

It's just another sad movie

But brother it's getting late
