Berkeley Pier Lyrics

Sometimes I'm lucky I go for whole days at a time
Without ever thinking of you and ask myself
"Why, baby, why?"
But then I find myself
On that same damn piece of road
I wind up down by the water

Whatever happened to our walks on the pier?
I cry myself alone all the way down to the end
I drink my bottle dry and I
Heave it across the bay to the city
Smashing outside your door

No that's not you and that's not me
But that pair of lovers looked like we used to be
Strolling on the dock warm in each others arms
Counting the lights on the Oakland Bridge

Whatever happened to our walks on the pier?
I cry myself alone all the way down to the end
I drink my bottle dry and I
Heave it across the bay to the city
Smashing outside your door

Could that be you honey?
Could that be you I see way over
On that West Bay side?
Flashing a signal to me down by Pier 39
Cause if I only knew
I'd jump in that water
And swim straight across
Drowning in my relief

Here comes a Romeo and a sweet punk rock Juliet
Now they have no recollection of
Heartbreak they don't have yet
Murmuring dreams to each other
Oblivious to the golden gate
Passing me I'm just a stranger

Whatever happened to our walks on the pier?
I cry myself alone all the way down to the end
I drink my bottle dry and I
Heave it across the bay to the city
Smashing outside your door
