Portastatic - Sour Shores lyrics

Even at the end of a day run ragged Boxed in, locked out and haggard There was the cluster of milky lights Over the black hills; they ring this town And you knew they'd be comin' down Yeah, you knew they'd be comin' down To swing low over the maritime So thick, and without age There's a place where even the old and used can hide Until the light spills out of the open door And you feel young again at the offer of a ride Oh yeah, here's your ride Oh yeah, here's your ride Oh yeah, here's your ride Surf's up, surf's up on sour shores Oh, on our sour shores You may black out your windows now But I have not forgotten yours Rain down, rain down on rotten doors On down our rotten doors And in the night you step outside And wonder what this life is for So put your ear to the door Do you remember how the clues were scattered A curled note in a buried box Bone binding cracked from the years in the ground But not shattered Oh, your grandfather knew what mattered Yeah, he knew, and he left it to you So clear your head Forget your bed tonight Go where the sand glows black not red tonight It's not a happy ending It's just an escape from the light And it's better than you ever read Even if it's only in your sleepy head Surf's up, surf's up on sour shores Oh, on our sour shores You may black out your windows now But I have not forgotten yours Rain down, rain down on rotten doors On down our rotten doors Our wings may not be fit to fly But you will be weightless at your core Oh yeah, here's your ride Oh yeah, here's your ride Oh yeah, here's your ride Oh yeah, here's your ride
