Broken Boardwalk Lyrics - Singles - Anthony Mendez

Sandy dancing across the water 

She has fallen before but this time she knows 

Every step precise as she returns home 

She dances with a broken heart, broken dreams 

Fixing to avenge the lost land of plans and schemes 

Doing so with a smile, holding a silent scream 

Broken boardwalk 

I can almost hear her talk 

Telling us, like a fly on the wall 

Telling us her stories, telling them all 

Lovers unknowing walk two by two 

Down the boards next to an ocean once blue 

At night the voices in our heads 

All day the angels on our shoulders talk 

Sandy's closing in now, to leave behind a broken boardwalk 

Broken boardwalk 

I can almost hear her talk 

Telling us, like a fly on the wall 

Telling us her stories, telling them all 

I saw the city die once when they burned it down 

Again when the EMO kids moved to town 

Where my dad took me as a kid, high up on his shoulders 

Same boardwalk twenty years later, all my secrets I told her 

But now that she's gone, I'd give anything just to hold her 

Broken boardwalk 

I can almost hear her talk 

Telling us, like a fly on the wall 

Telling us her stories, telling them all 

Ocean ave to the tracks separates the whites and blacks 

From the carousel to the center they say "things have gotten better" 

And because every day brings one less person to blame 

We take that road south looking for a change 

But life's a two way street 

And the shore life is just a boardwalk of broken dreams 

All that's left is a few stories and splinters in your feet
