Verse 1: Down by the bay where the salt wind blow Trailer rockin’ when the storm clouds grow Seagulls laughing, thunder low We’re floatin’ where the breakers go Chorus: It’s only a lease, Blue, it’s only a lease The tides will rise, then bring us peace From Assawoman Bay to the open sea It’s only a lease, but it feels like home to me. Verse 2: Crab House feast and Dumser's dreams Old Pro puttin’ by the water streams Gold Coast Mall got memories deep Thrasher’s fries, they don’t come cheap Chorus: It’s only a lease, Blue, it’s only a lease The waves may crash, but the love don’t cease When the bay turns gray, we laugh with glee It’s only a lease, but it feels like home to me Bridge (breakdown / call & response): They got double-wide canoe (that’s true) They got rockin’ in the rain (again) They got heaven on the bay (we’ll stay) 'Til the lease runs out again Verse 3: We grew up there, where the summers sing Boardwalk hearts and sunburned wings Now every sunset, every salty breeze Whispers, "Stay here mama. Don't matter if we freeze." Final Chorus: It’s only a lease, Blue, it’s only a lease The bay keeps time, our souls find peace If love’s just borrowed, let it be It’s only a lease But it feels like home to me Fenwick forever Only a lease, but home sweet home.
