Elephant Rock

November morn the palettes moved on
Only color left is gray i'm in the corn
Trynna keep warm
Had this fire going for days

The lighthouse rotted a rich man bought it
Nobody keeps lookout these days
On quicksand point i roll a joint
I flick the match into Atlantic waves

Gotta get back to Elephant Rock
Climb o'er the pebbles in my
Socks just to see
If you're on your way back to me

A ship's coming in what will it bring
Is it laden with pearls and rubies?
Are you on it do you wanna spend
Every day left with me

And oh, it's been a while, and
You have traveled many miles while
I've been down my share of trials
And troubles in the ocean

Do you wanna go back to Elephant Rock
Do you wanna climb o'er the pebbles in my
(our) socks just to see
If the moon's where it oughta be

I'm impatient i can't take it
I breaststroke on out to the boat
Oh, I may go deep no I'm up to my knees
And quicksand is filling my throat

And oh, the tide is rising high
I gotta keep my eyes fixed on
The horizon faded into ocean

So throw me a piece of driftwood
A rope would be just as good
Sand where I stand sinking to the ocean

Back Elephant Rock
Climb o'er the pebbles in my
Socks just to see
If you'd hold hands and jump with me
