Broken Boardwalk
Anthony Mendez

Sandy dancing across the water

She has fallen before but this time she knows

Every step precise as she returns home

She dances with a broken heart, broken dreams

Fixing to avenge the lost land of plans and schemes

Doing so with a smile, holding a silent scream


Broken boardwalk

I can almost hear her talk

Telling us, like a fly on the wall

Telling us her stories, telling them all


Lovers unknowing walk two by two

Down the boards next to an ocean once blue

At night the voices in our heads

All day the angels on our shoulders talk

Sandy's closing in now, to leave behind a broken boardwalk


Broken boardwalk

I can almost hear her talk

Telling us, like a fly on the wall

Telling us her stories, telling them all


I saw the city die once when they burned it down

Again when the EMO kids moved to town

Where my dad took me as a kid, high up on his shoulders

Same boardwalk twenty years later, all my secrets I told her

But now that she's gone, I'd give anything just to hold her


Broken boardwalk

I can almost hear her talk

Telling us, like a fly on the wall

Telling us her stories, telling them all


Ocean ave to the tracks separates the whites and blacks

From the carousel to the center they say things have gotten better

And because every day brings one less person to blame

We take that road south looking for a change

But life's a two way street

And the shore life is just a boardwalk of broken dreams

All that's left is a few stories and splinters in your feet
