Anthony Mendez - Broken Boardwalk lyrics

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
