Jandek - Point Judith lyrics

rate me

Crestfallen and broken breast

I feel a full shadow

I see a spur digging

Snails on the rocks and it's low tide and

There's diamonds in the ocean

But if there's a moth winging out over the waves

In the sunlight there's

Two spiders meet on a rock but

They're the same anyhow so...

It's all so still here I...

Little waves spill over little rocks

You can peel off mica from the rocks

As it shines like smooth silver

But you know there's more than this

'Cause you can see the boats sailing

And the gulls fly by fishing

And there's a lighthouse in the distance, but...

It's all so quiet that..

Why disturb the silence so

Go away in the moonlight and

Bring back a starfish

Settle back easy

Make up your mind to stay

I've earned a fortune and

There's not much more to say

I'm livin' easy

As smooth as silk these days

I see that you're fearful

Haven't changed your ways

Settle back easy and

Make up your mind to stay

[bangs microphone]

The country's cleaner and

I've earned a fortune and

You don't have to pay

Just settle back easy and

Make up your mind to stay
