Montauk II

So now I’m sailing
Back toward the beach
A little lighter
And she’s not breathing
I lay the anchor
The emerald sea
Behind her eyelids
Lays back on me
Someone’s gone missing
Beware the tide
Let’s go to Montauk, we’ll hitch a ride
Up to the lighthouse
To pass the time
Drinking and dancing, Lord getting high
I can’t get sober
I’ve done too wrong
Tomorrow morning
This new girl’s gone
There are no ships out
Upon the water
My baby’s ghost dragged them down to the deep
So I’ll go missing
Somewhere upstate
Inside a bottle with just her face
From that old picture on Montauk Bay
Taped to the rifle
That I’ll use someday
