Old Cape
Harry Burgess
Wake up early in old Cape Cod
Stardust of a memory, you rack it up; the darkness gets to you
Sunshine, you failed to see me fade to oblivion
Ah, youth, who here can say they didn't fail you?
Some Faustian daydream in my head
Guess I'll try harder to be a man
Beat my chest and dally
And I'll revert to type; limbs twist, my sapling body burned with fright
Raised a wreckage
Now I want to run and run and run like hell - make like a breathing Summer breeze
"You do you, Blue Baby, I've been made"
