Ghost Town By The Sea Lyrics - Jandek

By the sea by the sea 

In a Point Judith diary I 

Found many rocks all pretty colors 

I found waves that split the sound 

Of a silent summer's day 

And oh the smell it is so clean 

And all of this so constantly old, old, old 

The firewood for the fire 

Has drifted from the sea 

Names and colors decorate the flames 

??? up in smoke 

Some sailing vessel's history 

Rowing boats are out there now 

Fishing for their game 

Rocking in the water contemplatively 

Shiny little houses 

Faded by the sea 

Are watching through their windows 

In this ghost town by the sea 

This ghost town by the sea
