Anthony Mendez - Broken Boardwalk Lyrics
Sandy dancing across the waterShe has fallen before but this time she knowsEvery step precise as she returns homeShe dances with a broken heart, broken dreamsFixing to avenge the lost land of plans and schemesDoing so with a smile, holding a silent screamBroken boardwalkI can almost hear her talkTelling us, like a fly on the wallTelling us her stories, telling them allLovers unknowing walk two by twoDown the boards next to an ocean once blueAt night the voices in our headsAll day the angels on our shoulders talkSandy's closing in now, to leave behind a broken boardwalkBroken boardwalkI can almost hear her talkTelling us, like a fly on the wallTelling us her stories, telling them allI saw the city die once when they burned it downAgain when the EMO kids moved to townWhere my dad took me as a kid, high up on his shouldersSame boardwalk twenty years later, all my secrets I told herBut now that she's gone, I'd give anything just to hold herBroken boardwalkI can almost hear her talkTelling us, like a fly on the wallTelling us her stories, telling them allOcean ave to the tracks separates the whites and blacksFrom the carousel to the center they say "things have gotten better"And because every day brings one less person to blameWe take that road south looking for a changeBut life's a two way streetAnd the shore life is just a boardwalk of broken dreamsAll that's left is a few stories and splinters in your feet
