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
