Salt Marsh from Difficult Creek by Dan Webb and the Spiders
There's a place in Ipswich, MA called the Crane Estate. It's an old mansion that has European style gardens that open onto 4 miles of private beach. My Uncle used to visit this beach in the 1970's when he was going to school in the area. Many years later, we made a visit there together. The lyrics were pulled from conversations we had while on the grounds.

Lyrics
He stood there quietly
Until finally he spoke
There's a lot to be said
For a salt marsh
You know
I was held up
Waiting for a follow-up report
But he left it at that
And then it was quiet
Like before
It's hard to improve
On things with which you had nothing to do
But I still try
We had a look
At the Gardens
Of the great house
There was a break in the trees
That surrounded the grounds
You could see the ocean carving up
The beach below
The flowers were folly after that
In their rows
It's hard to improve
On things with which you had nothing to do
But I still try
Don't you?
