Gulf Shores

It was hard enough to climb upon
 It was slow-going at first
 Sister, you have laid long in the sun
 Aren't you dying of thirst?
 Oh my dear, your suit is candy-striped
 And your legs are long and slim
 If I whisper nothings in your ear,
 Will you pass them on to him?
 Yeah, I've laid here by the waterside
 Since the day we came to town
 Have you thought that you could waste away?
 You don't care much for yourself
 There are circles deep beneath your eyes
 Why do you do this to yourself?
 If you'd like, we two could take a ride
 I would love to take you down
 We could watch a blue heron in flight
 We could see the sights in town
 Yeah, I've laid here by the waterside
 You have let the family down
 A cold and fruity drink awaits us both
 Watch me frolic in the sand
 O, did you see me in the surf
 With a starfish in my hand?
 Soon the restaurants will open up
 Soon the bars will light their lights
 You have aged, you must start looking up
 Ugly things will come tonight
 We could drive down to another beach
 Even tanned, your skin seems white
 All our friends have gone away from here
 So let's disappear from sight
