about

In 1981 I made Aliyah - not to Jerusalem or a kibbutz, like most Americans, but to Tel Aviv. At the time you could count the young Americans living in Tel Aviv on one hand, so it could get kind of lonely. One solace was the beach and boardwalk - packed with people yet somehow intimate, small enough to walk its length while the water reached as far as the horizon and the stars remind one of eternity...

lyrics

Down at the Mediterranean
Thinking 'bout the places I might have been
A different city on the horizon
Different cars
Different bars
Different stars
Sure is good to be home again

Down at the Mediterranean
It's all I can do to keep from jumping in
Wash away my body wash away my sin
Wave goodbye
Earth and sky
If I should die
Send a message in a bottle to my next of kin

I am just another pilgrim
On the run
Something tells me I belong here
I could get along here
Down at the Mediterranean

Down at the Mediterranean
My back to the city where you just can't win
If time is money I'm a beggar's friend
Push and shove
Brotherly love
Lord above
I wonder if we'll ever be whole again

I am just another pilgrim
On the run
Something tells me I belong here
I think I'm getting stronger
Down at the Mediterranean
