shimmer in the bay at dawn come in late and sneak hear the doorway creak drunk on a beach drunk on a beach shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn play the weather report a storm in every port at best you’re blessed at worst you’re cursed shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn look along the coast coffe and some toast let’s keep it cheap drunk on a beach shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn they reversed their suicide they never really wanted to die just out of reach drunk on a beach shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn shimmer in the bay at dawn

all the rats who run through the beer garden sing the "open mic night has arrived !" gnawing bruschetta, tumbling tomatoes the leaves fall like tedious verse.. there's a house guitar that slips in and out of tune play for a pint, play a set at the open mic night all the dogs who run to exercise in beer gardens know open mic night's arrived will we rate it high ? checking out trip advisor full of the heed we don't take… have you felt small shame, like tripping on a paving stone ? or hailing a bus that steams past you waiting ? well then you'll know that open mic night has arrived all the cats who sun their lazy fur in beer gardens know open mic night has arrived there's an anxious type, making that first foray and earnest the swansong nicks off...

to see the universe, find a forest wilderness do (do do do do) the nature walk... between every two trees, lies a door to a new world do (do do do do) the nature walk... in the deep green woods going out is going in, and going in is going out... quiet with your thoughts a call back to the wild do (do do do do) the nature walk... the river flows through us we are a part of her do (do do do do) the nature walk... in the deep green woods going out is going in, and going in is going out...

Time Capsule 03:34
when you find old photographs look behind look around the back did you find the time capsule? when you see old films on tv they inspire your memories like a time capsule on cobbled streets we meet roaming roman roads... the scent of cooking hits the nose every hour on the hour counting every chime the bells they ring out time fill the bottles up with wine we'll drink a toast to every ghost in the library who poured their wisdom out... their wisdom out in words we'll drink a toast to every verse to every struggle to be heard no lo-fi no hi-fi, washed in the tide no wi-fi they just left a time capsule every hour on the hour counting every chime as the bells they ring out time when you find old photographs look behind look around the back did you find the time capsule?
