Say something, say something good Don't you think that by now I really would if I could? And though you've seen better days I wouldn't spare you the truth and I won't damn you with praise Uh oh I'm singing for you now, my fading coastal town Though all I've ever seen is all you'll never be Still you once were home to me Some spurn you, some always cling But you sheltered us all and never asked for a thing We all reach some certain age And then what once was a crib can only feel like a cage Your squalid flats and browning hillsides The aching workers in your fields Each empty house and shuttered storefront Each one a wound that's never healed
