A light on a platform Perfume of a secret The sound of Scissors And a girl with a faint smile
Moaning like a brick wall As she merges on the highway Could she be a doctor Or a light on a platform
Every day I start new In the mask of the afternoon My history forgotten In the bottom of the ocean
In the light of the platform moon
I grew up by the highway She grew up by the sea She hears her name in the sound of the waves But the ships hold a message for me I was born by the highway She's got sand in her hair The lonely sounds of the traffic in the night will never reach her there
Woke up on black beach With a face I didn't recognize My history forgotten In the bottom of ocean Everyday start new Broken mast and abandoned crew Her mystery is rotting In the bottom of the ocean
In the light of the platform moon
I grew up by the highway She grew up by the sea
She hears her name in the sound of the waves But the ships hold a message for me I was born by the highway She's got sand in her hair The lonely sounds of the traffic in the night will never reach her there
