The Point

There are roads without signs you can lose your bearings
Twists and turns where the Parker River flows
You can end up traveling by the roundabout way
It’s easy to get lost along the road

Then you see the straight line from the flats over the bridge
that takes you home at the end of the day
And it’s just a short walk to get to the Point where
The tide washes troubles away

You might have to toe the line or walk a crooked mile
You might have to please someone to earn your pay
They might make you wear a necktie and a crooked smile
Life can get twisted up that way

But then you see the straight line from the flats over the bridge
that takes you home at the end of the day
And it’s just a short walk to get to the Point where
The tide washes troubles away

Maybe people only come to the island to hide or heal
And when you’re standing on the edge it can
feel like you’re about to fall
But when you’re standing on the Point you can
understand the point of it all

There are roads without signs you can lose your bearings
Twists and turns where the Parker River flows
You can end up traveling by the roundabout way
It’s easy to get lost along the road

Then you see that straight line from the flats over the bridge
that takes you home at the end of the day
And it’s just a short walk to get to the Point where
The tide washes troubles away

Maybe people come to the island to hide or heal
And when you’re standing on the edge it can
feel like you’re about to fall
But when you’re standing on the Point you can
understand the point of it all

The day’s setting sun full ahead and the
Full moon slowly rising behind
Make it easy to forget your troubles
let them slip your mind
let them slip your mind
Leave your troubles behind
