Hoping Beyond Hope

[Barry]

The black beach waits for you
It waits for you alone
You will go there by yourself
No one along for the ride

There are never any stars
Never there a moon
There are only the waves
Rolling in for all time

They grind against the stones
Like the teeth in your head
As you stalk about and wait
Hoping no one ever comes

Because if they come you know
What happens next
You'll have to fight; you can't hide
Only one place to go

And you don't want to fight
You know you haven't got the balls
It's a fight you won't win
From which you've fled all your life

So you sit down and wait
Hoping beyond hope
That the battle never comes
Your enemy never shows
