Coast Road in November, Take the Long Way
by Cassio Lune

Lyrics
The seaside town is sleeping In its winter coat of grey The windows of the guesthouse Have a sign that says away I drive along the coast road With the sea on my left hand And the gulls are riding headwinds Over empty miles of sand Take the coast road, take it slow Where the waves are rolling in below Nothing in the mirror, nothing to prove November on the water and I'm in the groove A chip shop with its light on Is the only sign of life A lighthouse on the headland Cuts the dark like a knife I roll the window halfway And the salt air fills the car It tastes like open freedom It tastes like who we are Take the coast road, take it slow Where the waves are rolling in below Nothing in the mirror, nothing to prove November on the water and I'm in the groove Summer's long behind us And the next one's far away But the empty road is mine tonight And I'm in no hurry to stay Take the coast road, take it slow Where the waves are rolling in below Nothing in the mirror, nothing to prove November on the water and I'm in the groove Take the coast road Take it slow
