Lyrics of 'Longfall' by The Lost Trailers

The waves are settling down, and the sun has sunk into the sand,
And the only calm this city gives is living in these ocean sounds.
Well, it's not as bad as it could be, it's just not as good as I thought it would be;
You'll find out what you miss most when you're out alone on the West Coast...
In a longfall;
Yes, it's gonna be a longfall.

I'm not sure why I'm still here, when I left my life seemed so clear,
Now my dreams are heavy things that are muddied by reality,
Cause I can't find good pay, and there's no game days on Saturdays,
Yes, the only tailgates I see down are loading smack and crack cocaine...

For a long haul;
Up the West Coast in this longfall.

My girl loved the price of fame, I lost her when she changed her name,
Her face used to feel so soft,
'til her agent's doctor pulled it off,
She got a new nose and cheekbones, and a bit part on a TV show,

But a home can turn to a frozen place, when the one you love's got a stranger's face...
It's a longfall, out in LA,
It's a longfall.
Still no rain and I don't feel the same...

Just when I thought I'd head on back, I saw a black haired girl on the concrete path;
She flung her hair back with her hands, between the setting sun and a coffee stand
And in the fading light I could barely see, when she fired up a Winston and gave it to me,
She said, "You look like someone I know"; I said, "I do, well, thanks for the care, cause it shows."

In this longfall,
There's fine folks out on the West Coast,
It's just a longfall.
Where there's no cold, and no one gets old.
In this longfall,
There's no rain, but I know Jane will change.
In this longfall,
Yes, I know things have got to change.
