Winthrop Lyrics - Indigo Girls

when we get back to winthrop 

a few miles from the airport 

on a plastic chair 

on a deck where my friends live 

i watch the taking off airplanes 

i watch the ocean waves crashing 

with all of this movement something's got to give 

down at the high tide 

passed down through the family 

the fishermen gather to complain about the catch 

they talk about time 

they talk about tides 

the pull of the moon and the coffee deep night black 

and i listen to them 

and i listen to you 

and for everyone there is something never coming back

but for all that we've been through 

for all that we've promised 

your wayward direction seems insensible 

words fall off like breathless fish 

all flopping and scattered 

and hearts picked over deemed dispensible 

down at the high tide 

we're there for our last meal 

the broken loaves are still enough for all 

and we talk about time 

and we talk about tides 

under the moon with the deep night coffee black 

i hear the dim roar of the last flight out 

and for someone there is someone never coming back

we talk about time 

we talk about tides 

under the moon and the deep night coffee black 

i hear the dim roar of the last flight out 

and for someone there is someone never coming back
