Oyster Bay

Wading through the marsh and dunes

The gap between the tides

Crouching down, I comb the ground

Where history divides

Late at night, I'm dreaming of a light

That nobody sees

Off and on, my eyes go wrong

But suddenly I see

Swept up by the subway screech

And thrust through the door

But all I see are shells and creeks

That hide beneath the floor

Late at night, I'm dreaming of a light

That nobody sees

Off and on, my eyes go wrong

But suddenly I see

Glacier's edge makes oyster beds

And time slips away

The powdered glass from city's past

Floats down Hudson Bay

Late at night, I'm dreaming of a light

That nobody sees

Off and on, my eyes go wrong

But suddenly I see

I see

I see

I see

I see

I see

I see

I see

I see

I see
