Rialto Lyrics
Check out the skylark
Riding and singing alongside salt cool breeze coming from the West
Ships and their lawlessness
Running wild and the waves
Wearing their bright blue summer best
Here come the sailors
Marching two by two by two
They pressed their pants
And shined their shoes
Aren’t they strapping and deranged?
Too long at sea makes your eyes strange
Makes them strain
For the vision of your youth
Dripping castles in the sand
I could still go there
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water
Bright colors drowning me out…
I could still go there...
Sun on water...
Now they’re standing on the beach (standing on the beach)
In a wild coloured wind (wild coloured wind)
Sun rays stream (sun rays stream)
Ah the pretty boys gleam
Watching distant buoys toss
Water rolling on the rocks
Smoothing down the broken things
I could still go there...
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water...
Bright colors drowning me out…
I could still go there...
But my mind would be too loud...
Sun on water...
Bright colours drowning me out...
I could still go there...
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water...
Bright colors drowning me out…
I could still go there...
But my mind would be too loud...
Sun on water...
Bright colours drowning me out...
I could still go there...
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water...
Riding and singing alongside salt cool breeze coming from the West
Ships and their lawlessness
Running wild and the waves
Wearing their bright blue summer best
Marching two by two by two
They pressed their pants
And shined their shoes
Aren’t they strapping and deranged?
Too long at sea makes your eyes strange
Makes them strain
For the vision of your youth
Dripping castles in the sand
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water
Bright colors drowning me out…
I could still go there...
Sun on water...
In a wild coloured wind (wild coloured wind)
Sun rays stream (sun rays stream)
Ah the pretty boys gleam
Water rolling on the rocks
Smoothing down the broken things
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water...
Bright colors drowning me out…
But my mind would be too loud...
Sun on water...
Bright colours drowning me out...
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water...
Bright colors drowning me out…
But my mind would be too loud...
Sun on water...
Bright colours drowning me out...
But my mind would be too loud
Sun on water...

Love. this. song.
Love. this. song.
So I'm pretty sure the backdrop for this song is the BEAUTIFUL, GAWJUS Rialto Beach here in Washington. You have to drive way the heck up to Fork to get there, but it is so worth it.
My favorite line is "Aren't they strapping and deranged, too long at sea makes your eyes strange."
