歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Clock strikes nine on the Casio beat Sand in the treads of my tired feet Chipped blue mug and a bitter brew Polishing the glass for a better view Fog rolls in like a heavy wool coat Time to find a little corked-up note [Pre-Chorus] I see a flicker in the dark A tiny, bioluminescent spark Scrabbling down the wooden stairs Leaving all my heavy-hearted cares [Chorus] Oh, hello to the ghost in the glass Watching the neon ripples pass I’m writing back with a leaky pen To a friend I'll never meet again Fold the paper, keep it dry Underneath a purple evening sky It's a silly little game I play To keep the quiet of the coast away [Post-Chorus] Saltwater stationery Feeling light and legendary Ink on my thumb Beat of the drum Wait for the tide Nowhere to hide [Verse] Found a letter from a girl in Maine She’s complaining ‘bout the autumn rain I told her that the whales are loud Hiding underneath a salty cloud The Moog is humming a wobbly tune Bouncing off the surface of the moon [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got a stamp with a bird To carry every single word Scribbling by the lantern light Everything is gonna be alright [Chorus] Oh, hello to the ghost in the glass Watching the neon ripples pass I’m writing back with a leaky pen To a friend I'll never meet again Fold the paper, keep it dry Underneath a purple evening sky It's a silly little game I play To keep the quiet of the coast away [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder if they’re real Or just a phantom sort of deal I’m a keeper of the light and ink Standing right upon the jagged brink Wait for the glockenspiel to chime Living on a lopsided sense of time [Breakdown] Jangle of the Rickenbacker strings All the joy the lonely ocean brings Tape is hissing in the warm machine The prettiest mess I've ever seen [Chorus] Oh, hello to the ghost in the glass Watching the neon ripples pass I’m writing back with a leaky pen To a friend I'll never meet again Fold the paper, keep it dry Underneath a purple evening sky It's a silly little game I play To keep the quiet of the coast away [Post-Chorus] Saltwater stationery Feeling light and legendary Ink on my thumb Beat of the drum Wait for the tide Nowhere to hide [Outro]
