Drive along the sea
Far from the city's twitch and smoke
To a misty beach

That's where my life became a joke

On the dunes

On the dunes
(Became a joke on the dunes)
Where rents are high

And seabirds cry
On the dunes


As you spoke you must have known
It was a kind of homicide
I stood and watched my happiness

Drift outwards with the tide

On the dunes

On the dunes
(Homicide on the dunes)
It wasn't fair

It's brutal there
On the dunes


Pretty boats
Sweeping along the shore
In the faltering light

Pretty women
With their lovers by their side
It's like an awful dream

I have most every night

In the summer all the swells

Join in the search for sun and sand
For me it's just a joyless place
Where this loneliness began


On the dunes
On the dunes

(Loneliness on the dunes)
I'm pretty tough
But the wind is rough

On the dunes
