the coast of nothing

winter forsakes me
and brings me no snow
here on the coast of nothing
heart of the season
but it never gets cold
here on the coast of nothing

day after day
in the sun and the haze
you'd think that the month would be june
i've never felt winter this way
a most disagreeable tune

the sleds in the shed
and my skates are untouched
here on the coast of nothing
unhappy snowflakes
won't land in my yard
here on the coast of nothing

day after day
in the sun and the haze
you'd think that the month would be june
i've never felt winter this way
a most disagreeable tune

the ice on the pond
never lasts long
here on the coast of nothing
the air can't get cold
with the warmth that it holds
here on the coast of nothing
