The Harbor and The Bay

If you feel it in your bones
follow the wind
the people back at home
can live with it
they’ll talk about you like you’re long dead
push it out of your mind ’til you’ve already left

You’ll never come back
you’ll never come back
it’ll do you good
not to promise them different
you’ll never come back

What good is it to be
stuck in one place?
singing all the songs
you’ve already played
everything’s outdone, outgrown, outweighed
a hurricane bearing your name
sweeps across the harbor and the bay

You’ll never come back
your suitcase is packed
it’ll do you good
not to tell them that
you’ll never come back

What good is it to be
stuck in one place?
a hurricane bearing your name
sweeps across the harbor and the bay
