| There are windows on the water
|
| Lighting up the silver strand
|
| Shining on the sea
|
| Shining on the sea
|
| And the ocean’s just a player
|
| On an old piano
|
| Who repeats one melody
|
| Repeats one melody
|
| I belong on the shore
|
| Hustlin' nickels and dimes
|
| 'Cause it ain’t long before it’s gone
|
| You might as well have a good time
|
| Well, the elbows of his jacket
|
| Are blue and shiny
|
| He’s drunk and gone to seed
|
| He’s drunk and gone to seed
|
| And he mumbles as he plays
|
| The only song he knows
|
| It’s the only song he needs
|
| The only song he needs
|
| I belong on the shore
|
| Hustlin' nickels and dimes
|
| 'Cause it ain’t long before it’s gone
|
| You might as well have a good time
|
| All his restless music
|
| Don’t mean a damn thing to me
|
| The shallow or the deep
|
| Said, the shallow or the deep
|
| And if you’re free this evening
|
| We’ll go out together
|
| And party 'till we sleep
|
| I said, party 'till we sleep
|
| And I belong on the shore
|
| Hustlin' nickels and dimes
|
| 'Cause it ain’t long before it’s gone
|
| You might as well have a good time
|
| I belong on the shore
|
| Hustlin' nickels and dimes
|
| 'Cause it ain’t long before it’s gone
|
| You might as well have a good time
|
| You might as well have a good time |
