By the sea by the sea In a Point Judith diary I Found many rocks all pretty colors I found waves that split the sound Of a silent summer's day And oh the smell it is so clean And all of this so constantly old, old, old The firewood for the fire Has drifted from the sea Names and colors decorate the flames up in smoke Some sailing vessel's history Rowing boats are out there now Fishing for their game Rocking in the water contemplatively Shiny little houses Faded by the sea Are watching through their windows In this ghost town by the sea This ghost town by the sea
