lyrics

Ode to the bay

The city is a jewel, it's got every facet covered
down the bay, San Mateo, still has a little flair

but south of the Dumbarton are mud flats and no ships sail
all we have by the shore, are the grounds of the ordinary
bones of the ordinary..

And I dream of the train bridge there, as I fall asleep
it is where I'll test my mettle or fall into cold retreat

Call the old ghost trains, I'll feel the wildness there
I'll watch all my steps and I'll keep my souvenirs

The marsh dwellers had, their folklore and their legends
and marsh people had, their ancient prophecies

San Jose is watching, dusty in late afternoon,
a night cap is falling down, upon the weary heads

So say goodnight, to the Dumbarton, to the wind and the mud
and to where no ships set sail, by the shore we have watched

Say goodnight to the bridge lights and suns last orphaned glow
Say goodnight by the shore to the grounds of the ordinary, grounds of the ordinary
bones of our ordinary..
grounds of the ordinary, grounds of the ordinary, bones of our ordinary..
