about

Some cultures believe that birds carry the souls of the departed. This song is just a tiny slice of all the things my sister was, and a celebration of her. It’s a party. She liked a good party.

lyrics

You believed in sun on skin
Maybe half of those words about sin
All you need is a car and a few good friends
That party over the Bay Bridge never ends

You are salt water breezes
Warm shell in my hand
Dig your long toes in the sand
Pelican

You believed in the slap of ball on glove
Sharp crack of the bat sounds like love
Your boys round the bases, watch them go
Kick dust in the air and slide home

Salt water breezes
Warm shell in my hand
Dig your long toes in the sand
Pelican, Pelican

You believed in a packed house at Christmastime
Loud games in the front yard, cheap white wine
Glide low ‘cross the water, dip one wing
Now you are nothing, and everything

Salt water breezes
Warm shell in my hand
Dig your long toes in the sand
Pelican, Pelican, Pelican, Pelican
