I know it wasn’t fame
That’s not why I left you
I had to find change
Had to find some proof
Nothing like lies
To make you seek the truth
What did I find
But how I long for you
You were there to hold me
By the shore
Far away from all
This senseless war
You were there and
I know you still are
Right between
The boardwalk and the barge
I see you as a woman
I’m not your only lover
Your curves have changed
Like I’ve been gone forever
Your eyes still call
But I don’t have the time no more
Don’t bury me where I fall
Return me to the shore
You were there to hold me
By the shore
Far away from all
This senseless war
You were there and
I know you still are
Right between
The boardwalk and the barge
Big cities and bright lights
Marquees and nightlife
They don’t have the same shine
They once had
Red tide in the moonlight
Trimming the high line
Almost calls me back
But easy is a red flag
Fames not why I left you
I had to find change
Had to find some proof
Nothing like lies
To make you seek the truth
What did I find
But how I long for you
You were there to hold me
By the shore
Far away from all
This senseless war
You were there and
I know you still are
Right between
The boardwalk and the barge
