Feist – The Eastern Shore (The Water) Lyrics 18 years ago
The telegraph cables hum
And few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don't get much company

The water didn't realize



Wind-battered, knocked over.

On The Reminder I think she sings:

The telegraph cables hum
And few can decipher who the message is from
And deliver it quietly
'Cause some don't get much company

I really love the sea/mountain images because of how dangerous and beautiful the two are together; they're really different but they create something striking

I'm not sure it's about a relationship so much as the state of life: humans can be lonely and dangerous and desolate. We hope all that we can for our children but they'll spend their days wind-battered and knocked over with their heads folded into their shoulders, looking at the grey sky which is trying to act innocent, like a "good guy".
