Best Laid Scheme

Best Laid Scheme

There's a hole in the sea
That is just my size
Slung over a chair with a room service smile
Oh my best laid scheme with
A tide calling out for my feet

From nowhere
To a little farther from nowhere
I rode in on the back of a bus
No-one knew me but us

I guess I looked out of place
In a sun-drenched town all lily pale-faced
Suit and a tie; a kid asked me why
I still had my shoes on
Down on the beach, ice-cream running down their hands

From nowhere
To a little farther from nowhere
I rode in on the back of a bus
No-one knew me but us

The moon murmurs nightly
And the moon murmurs nightly here lies
The moon murmurs nightly
And the moon murmurs nightly
