lyrics
There's no one here for miles and that feels amazing
The sun's reflecting on the tide like i'm complaining
The soothing sounds of summer waves they crash around me
I've got half a mind for pleasure and the rest for wasting
While the world is still asleep
I'm standing naked on the beach
Like the dirty hippie I aspire to be
The roads are paved with salty sand just like the buildings
The water wants us all to swim and I don't want to hurt their feelings
I'm caught inside the undertow to indulge this ocean screaming
This sea breeze seeks to harmonize and join me in my singing
So call me sentimental
If you do not know my name
My name is hard to spell and even harder to say
The sea foam here reminds me of a million bubble baths
I look like father Christmas now to try and make you laugh
I was a growing boy but now i'm just a smaller man
The partial portrait of my father standing in the sand
So I'll forget concerns
But like the bird who missed the worm
Tomorrow morning the hunger will return
No matter what I say
A million words couldn't do this picture justice
No matter what I say
A million words couldn't do this picture justice
No matter what I say
A million words couldn't do this picture justice
No matter what I say
A million words couldn't do this picture justice
No matter what I say
A million words couldn't do this picture justice

Music and lyrics by John Michael Sherry
With fantastic arrangements and gut-bustingly poignant lyrics, Mountebank creates truly a spectacular record that demands continuous listens even just minutes after hearing! Sherry
With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 16, 2020
