Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's really true how nothing matters
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters
No one's pitching 'cause there ain't no batters
In Coconut Grove
[Verse 2]
Don't bar the door, there's no one coming
The ocean's roar will dull the drumming
Of any city thoughts or city way
[Verse 3]
The ocean breezes cool my mind
The salty days are hers and mine
Just to do what we want to
[Verse 4]
Tonight, we'll find a dune that's ours
And, softly, she will speed the stars
Until sunup
[Verse 5]
It's all from having someone knowing
Just which way your head is blowing
Who's always warm, like in the morning
In Coconut Grove
[Verse 6]
The ocean breezes cool my mind
The salty days are hers and mine
Just to do what we want to
[Verse 7]
Tonight, we'll find a dune that's ours
And, softly, she will speed the stars
Until sunup
[Verse 8]
It's really true how nothing matters
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters
No one's pitching 'cause there ain't no batters
In Coconut Grove
