On the coast of Darian

On the coast of Darian

Where the river and smokestacks meet and the houses are all blue and gray

And the street is after your name

And the dragon fruit have all but gone away

Honey bee, could I not be the medicine you need

Honey bee, could I not be the medicine you need

How long can my body be loyal

How long can my body be loyal

Because I listen to all of your decisions though my own have known no difference

And will I die by being so nice, or specific or just too far?

Dearest heart, what I wanted then is all that I still want

Dearest heart, what I wanted then is all that I still want

Like black coffee, brown sugar and cream

Black coffee, brown sugar and cream

I want to tell you a story

But sleep, I’ll be there when you wake

We’ll have toast and one fried egg

And the bad feelings will have all but gone away
