Donovan Leitch Starfish-on-the-toast Lyrics

Starfish-on-the-toast Lyrics

Fine rock pooling coast



this starfish on the toast



the men in the crabbing boats they cry







Far across the harbor



and'round the sandy cove



the shepard with his pipe and sheepy drove







big cloud tumbling high



the amazing flying sky



how the gulls are pillaging the town







fan faring daffodilly



trumpetingly small



all along the bathing hut wall







far across the empty beach 



the tide has left this world



old men in tweed find study there







Holding whelks and periwinkles 



tingling in his hand



little does he know they hold him too







Fine rock pooling coast



this starfish on the coast



the men in the crabbing boat they cry....
