In A North Coast Town - words and music by Luke Vassella Copyright 2015

What can you do?

I had a friend, he had a dream in a North Coast town
A beautiful woman, some healthy children, and a piece of ground
I know it's hard to keep on the road when you've blown a tyre
I know it's hard to help a drowning man when he's on fire

Sometimes a dream gets lost in the flood of a North Coast town
God in His mercy will lift you up, and sometimes bring you down
I had a friend, he wouldn't move, though the water rose higher
How can you help a drowning man when he's on fire?

What can you do?
When the sky falls in on you
What can you do?
When the earth starts moving too
What can you do?
You burn so bright, the dark night still surrounds you.

Some men become bitter, some the salt of the earth in a North Coast town
Some know the flavour and the fragrance of life, others just muck around
It's hard to make sense when unforeseen events conspire
Do what you can for a drowning man on fire
'Cause my friend, in the end we're all drowning men
Full of fear, and burning with desire

What can you do?

I had a friend, and she had a dream In A North Coast Town…
