Coast of Sadness - 2022 Chris Spruit

I felt the blow of the new world coming
dragging me away from you
I set the sail but I missed the turn
and I crashed into the shore

Like stranded goods I found my life
in pieces on the sand
knowing that one of the crashing waves
will take the best of it away

high and low, no lighthouse showing
me the way back home
no use trying , and I'm not trying anymore

CHORUS
I come and go
like waves on a shore
carving my coast of sadness

I tried to save most of what I found
and what I thought was worth to take
I tried my best with my bare hands
but it all turned into sand

the stars shone through my lonely nights
the same I saw at home
so difficult to read the sky
if you don't know what you are looking for

high and low, no fires shining
no ship will take me home
no use waiting, wailing at the shore
