On the beach overseas
icy water slaps at our knees
and the buoy was signaling
as if it knew we were far from home
and you looked at me
and all I could see
were the lights that were flickering
and suddenly we were all alone

It's not an impossible thing to do
and I'm helpless to do anything for you
can't keep from wondering

You were under a spell
waiting for time to tell
if I could, you know I would,
accept this moment and sympathize
Then you looked at me
and all I can see
were the walls closing in again
and the desperation in your eyes

It's not an impossible thing to do
I know there's a better life for you
I can't keep from wondering

It's not an impossible thing to do
and I'm helpless to say anything to you
I want to see a better life for you
I can't keep from wondering

From a distance, this sounds a bit like a plaintive and tired Paul Simon. Can we not have a pillow for Paul? {#Sleep} 

 
From close-up on my phones, this sounds so twee that it could be Belle & Sebastian. Tolerable, but pretty much in one ear and out the other.

Love to hear YLT in the middle of this warm, windy afternoon in Northeast Brazil. :)
 
OK. You're uncanny, I actually did that in Recife in 2004.
