Rialto - Laura Veirs

Check out the skylark

Riding and singing alongside

Salt cool breeze coming from the west

Ships and their lawlessness

Running wild and the waves

Wearing their bright blue summer best

Here come the sailors

Marching two by two by two

They pressed their pants

And shined their shoes

Aren’t they strapping and deranged?

Too long at sea makes your eyes strange

Makes 'em strain

For the vision of your youth

Dripping castles in the sand

I could still go there

But my mind would be too loud

Sun on water

Bright colors drowning me out…

Now they’re standing on the beach

In a wild colored wind

Sunrays stream

Ah the pretty boys gleam

Watching distant buoys toss

Water rolling on the rocks

Smoothing down the broken things

I could still go there

But my mind would be too loud

Sun on water

Bright colors drowning me out…
