Sand Dollars

[Verse 1]

I've been humming a high note

Maybe something that I wrote

Out sailing in my boat

I’m not really sure

I’m still singing the same tune

Been kicking around since June

All morning and afternoon

Now it’s all a blur

I’ve been listenin' to sea shells

To hear the stories that they tell

Of high times and tide swells

That have yet to occur

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Backsliding down the drain

Partially taking all the blame

[Chorus]

Chasing coins to fill the purse

Is it really better or for worse

Is it a blessing or a curse to pass the buck

Is it a bounty or a bust

Is it precious metal or just rust

Well it seems it’s up to us

[Post-Chorus]

So wish us luck

[Verse 2]

I kept making a U-turn

Ended up with a sunburn

But the lesson that I learned

Was worth the skin that peeled

I climbed so many mountains

It’s not even worth countin'

All the drinks in the fountain

Before it was revealed

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Backsliding down the drain

Partially taking all the blame

[Bridge]

From the copper to the kettle

The stamen to the petal

We watch the value of sand dollars crumble

[Chorus]

Chasing coins to fill the purse

Is it really better or for worse

Is it a blessing or a curse to pass the buck

Is it a bounty or a bust

Is it precious metal or just rust

Well it seems it’s up to us

[Post-Chorus]

So wish us luck
