>A family of musicians took shelter for the night
>In the little harbor church of St.Cecilia

>This is a lonely, loooooonely, lonely life
>Sorrows everywhere you tuuuuurnnn.

>To prove that I love you
>To prove that I believe in you
>Summer skies, Stars are falling
>All along the injured coast

(The Coast)

Probably the best song on the album.
Some great songs but overall a weak followup to Graceland
