Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Gulf Shores lyrics

It was hard enough to climb upon It was slow going at first Sister, you have laid long in the sun Aren't you dying of thirst ? Oh I see your suit is candy striped And your legs are long and slim If I whisper nothing's in your ear Will you pa** them on to him ? You have laid here by the waterside Since the day we came to town Have you thought that you could waste away ? You don't care much for yourself There are circles deep beneath your eyes Why do you do this to yourself ? If you like, we two could take a ride I would love to take you down We could watch a blue heron in flight We could see the sights in town You have laid here by the waterside You have let the family down A cold and fruity drink awaits us both Watch me frolic in the sand O did you see me in the surf With a starfish in my hand ? Soon the restaurants will open up Soon the bars will light their lights You have aged, you must start looking up Ugly things will come tonight We could drive down to another beach Even tan your skin seems white All our friends have gone away from here So let's disappear from sight
