Lyrics:

                                                  
The wooden house was built right on the cliffs 
With a stunning view of the setting sun
Loving the blue waters
and the back-porch barbecues 
They didn't see the signs of things to come

Cause the ocean was a traitor
And the cliffs were made of sand
Some stormy winters later  
The dune could not withstand
A precious home was swallowed
By a wild and foaming sea
And a blissful time is fading
To a distant memory 

When they first met the world was full of wonder
First kiss first kid first home of their own
But when the banks collapsed
And mortgage rates went up
They felt helplessly exposed to the unknown

Cause the ocean was a traitor 
And the cliffs were made of sand
Some stormy winters later  
The dune could not withstand
A precious home was swallowed 
By a wild and foaming sea
And a blissful time is fading 
To a distant memory

They'd long looked forward to retirement
The grandkids liked to stay there overnight
Somehow they thought that health
Would be good people's loyal friend 
And they never did expect that bitter fight

But the ocean was a traitor 
And the cliffs were made of sand
Some stormy winters later  
The dune could not withstand
A precious home was swallowed 
By a wild and foaming sea
And a blissful time is fading 
To a distant memory

And a blissful time is fading 
To a wistful memory
