lyrics

When the beach is asleep
Under a blanket of snow
Long after the summer
When all tourists go home
I kneel down by the water
Pray my soul to keep
That’s when I start dreaming
When the beach is asleep

July was all sunshine
Swimsuits and tan skin
Selling cold beer and souvenirs
Yeah the money rolled in
September was a hurricane
It all washed up in heap
And I comb through rubble
Now that the beach is asleep

The roads are all closed and
The ferry route is frozen
Charlie’s little bar is the
Only place open
And we sit around the woodstove
Us few left behind
Eating boiled clams and oysters
Passing bottles of wine

When the beach is asleep
Under a blanket of snow
I close my shop for the winter
It’s all quiet in my home
And I tuck into the silence
Breathe a sigh of relief
(That’s when I start dreaming
When the beach is asleep) x2
