I'm gonna die on Cape Cod tonight.
If I don't, where will my lonely soul go?
How am I going to know?
I love the way the graves meet the bay,
And I know that's where my body will rot,
Cling to the treasure I've got.
Must I be departing now?
Must I be?
I haunt the place that I let the days
Pass me by, wondering if it was real,
Twisting and turning the wheel.
I'll never fade, just pass away.
I'll be here, walking the beaches at night,
Holding my lady in white.
I'm gonna stay, I won't go away,
You can see, I've come to tell you, my friend.
It's where I belong in the end.
Wait for the sun to rise in the dawn.
Purple sky. "Here lies the body of Ed,
Though we don't believe that he's dead."
