Of course I remember that summer on the coastnI remember cutting up my timenAnd feeling like a guest without a hostnAnd watching you go rotten on the vinennThat was the year the wall came downnAnd nearly everyone escaped with their headnBut here the rain smeared all the seashore townsnSo we just climbed the walls inside insteadnnThen David came to visit both of usnAnd you and he became entangled toonBut loyalties split too many ways are too dangerousnSo we thought we'd divide all of younnAnd you made me a promise but you didn't keep itnSo I swore I'd explore a vow or twonThat's when Maria came down to visit me in secretnBut I was too eager so she chose younnThen I remember David getting seasicknAnd trying to tear you from Maria and menThinking he could possess you was hystericalnAnd after you had seen him on his kneesnnAnd Maria with her illnesses real and imaginednAnd that lost father syndrome you ignorednWell you left her in a shell down by the oceannWith two sunken ships on a hurricane shorennThings get a little hazy after you flewnI know I looked around the sand for my necknAnd yes there was a period of catching up to donSo I remember the funeral but I've forgotten the deathnnNow I hear David's teaching fetishes to couplesnWho don't know what they're missing in their bedsnAnd Maria she wrapped all of her dreams up in troublesnWhile I got all of you out of my headnnStill thank you for the memories you rescuednI thought they were someone else's but they're minenAnd thank you for the lessons all those years agonAnd this invitation I respectfully decline
