Windbreak
I'm walking south along the coast
To nowhere
As I see tree after tree
Withering from the southerly
That chills us to our bones
Till they're so brittle now they're gone
And I'm thinking to myself
As I'm dying
I'm starting to feel your warmth
Even though you're made out of wood and weatherboard
It's a simple life
When all you want's to keep yourself together
So I'll sit down with you friend
And we'll outlast the weather
The cliffs make a harsh place
For a man to make a life
Yet they nurse so many creatures
Who seem to do just fine
You can walk up to the edge
And look on over
But careful as a gust of wind can knock you down
And the waves take you underground
On down now
I'm starting to feel your warmth
Even though you're made out of wood and weatherboard
It's a simple life
When all you want's to keep yourself together
So I'll sit down with you friend
And we'll outlast the weather
