so clearly i’ve had ASOUE on the brain for far too long because this song just kind of happened? over the past two days? it’s a sad little lullaby/sea shanty/love song from Lemony’s perspective, and i had to do like 5000 takes because 1) i am bad at whistling and 2) i kept accidentally singing “briny breach”. enjoy!
Briny Beach
Let’s take a walk on Briny Beach I’ll buy us each a rose From the man who sells flowers on Briny Beach Our troubles can’t reach us here
I once knew a girl named Beatrice I wrote her this love song I once thought I’d marry Beatrice But now she is dead and gone
We used to go walking on Briny Beach The sun would shine on her raven hair I told her I loved her on Briny Beach But now those words are fog in the air
Let’s take a walk on Briny Beach But I do beseech you beware For people are watching Briny Beach And they must not see us there
When I was young the world was quiet here But now I fear it’s too late To put out the fires, it’s too quiet here Can’t fix the mistakes we’ve made
We used to be noble, we used to be The last safe place in the storm But now through the smoke we cannot tell Who’s friend and who is foe anymore
These days I go walking on Briny Beach As the waves they breach and flow I’ve such pleasant memories of Briny Beach But now I walk alone
