about

Written by Andrew Nieporent in 2017-18.
Produced by Steve Carter in 2020-21.

"Ain't gonna study war no more."

lyrics

I thought I heard the captain say
tomorrow was your sailing day, but I don't know
A hint of spring was in the breeze
but Stella brought us to our knees, don't you know?

There's always more shanties to sing
but a girl's calling you across the sea
and the toll man says "cash only, please"
down in Long Beach

The tide it is high, and it forms a reflection
All those debts I had to pay
But funny, it seems, seven years fading....

I thought I heard somebody say
the sun was coming out today, but I don't know
I felt some drops upon my face
and soon enough it all turned gray, don't you know?

I've still got some wounds left to heal
but I've laid down my sword and my shield
And by Grandell the signs all say, "Yield"
down in Long Beach
down in Long Beach
down in Long Beach
down in Long Beach
down in Long Beach
down in Long Beach
