Alice At The Beach

(альбом: I Don't Know What I'm Doing - 2022)

'65 in Massachusetts, Alice at the beach
Young kid drowning she jumps in and pulls him from harm's reach
She goes right to the middle of it, she goes right to the middle of it
And here is the strangest thing. Are you listening?
This is the riddle of it, this is the riddle of it
Ten years later that boy from the sea saves a man who can't swim
It's Alice's husband

When you think ya got it figured out
When you think ya know what life's about
There'll be something that you can't explain
When you think ya got it figured out
When you think ya know what life's about
There'll be something you can't give a name

January, New York morning: Hudson clear below
Sullenberger damns the silence his heart's an engine though
He goes right to the middle of it, he goes right to the middle of it
And here is the strangest thing. Are you listening?
This is the riddle of it, this is the riddle of it
He lands that bird like a fly on a pond
Walks the length of it twice 'til he knows that he's done

When you think ya got it figured out
When you think ya know what life's about
There'll be something that you can't explain
When you think ya got it figured out
When you think ya know what life's about
There'll be something you can't give a name

So you just hold on, you just hold on
You don't know what good is coming
You don't know what good can do
Yeah you just hold on, you just hold on
See all that good that's coming
It's coming just for you
Yeah you just hold on
You just hold on...

When you think ya got it figured out
When you think ya know what life's about
There'll be something that you can't explain
When you think ya got it figured out
When you think ya know what life's about
There'll be something you can't give a name

Keep on holding on, keep holding
Ya keep on holding on, keep holding
Keep on holding on, keep holding
Ya keep on holding on, keep holding
