See this ancient river bed
See where all my follies led
Down by the water & down by the old main drag
I was just some tow-head teen
Feeling 'round for fingers to get in between
Down by the water & down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water & down by the old main drag
Sweet descend this rabble 'round
The pretty little patter of a seaboard town
Rolling in the water & rolling in the old main drag
All dolled up in gabardine
The lash-flashing Leda of pier 19
Queen of the water & queen of the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water & down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water & down by the old main drag
Down by the water & down by the old main drag
