Lyrics

There’s no trees left on this hillside,
There’s just squares where they used to be,
Making this valley look like a chessboard,
They said it all belonged to the queen
They spent half the year griping about the winter,
And then one year the winter never came,
But they knew it was no cause for celebration,
As they looked out on the January rain
The shoreline’s been drawn in pencil,
Another arch has been lost to the sea,
But what can you do,
When the waves come for you,
You can’t stay and you know that you can’t leave
When there’s nothing left here anymore,
Will you act surprised,
Leave a note on your front door,
Saying at least you tried.
Or will you plan for the future, build a life,
Just keep doing things the same,
Hope to God you’ll die of old age,
Not in some goddam hurricane
When there's nothing left here anymore,
Will you be surprised,
When the ocean's knocking at your front door,
And you're out of time
