Galveston Lyrics by Why Bonnie

90 In November

2021

[Verse 1]
Candyland beaches, water too salty to swim
Passed all of the dancehalls and dive-ins
Looks just the same as it did back then
But we lost the pier to hurricane season

[Verse 2]
I remember how the clouds used to chase
The east Texas sunrise, making the face
Of a little fat baby just standing in place
Crying for the last time and on with the day

[Chorus]
When I try to remember it, I can’t
It’s slipping like quicksand
When I try to remember it, I can’t
It’s slipping through my hand

[Post-Chorus]
Howled at the moon
Calling for you

[Verse 3]
If comfort is a killer then maybe I’ll die here
With the cigarettes and old beer and the lazy boy and lawn chairs
But it feels so clear, looking through the muddy water
That I’ll keep coming back here even when it’s all over

[Chorus]
When I try to remember it, I can’t
It’s slipping like quicksand
When I try to remember it, I can’t
It’s slipping through my hand
