[Verse 1]
Last night I dreamt I flew from Clara to Calary
Up behind the Sugarloaf
When I go off the planet, no headstone of granite
Scatter my ashes on a wave as it crashes

[Chorus]
Tail end, Hurricane Charlie
The beach, the moon, the stars
Come back to me, Charlie

[Verse 2]
When his pen's on the page
He cheats death, has no age
When his pen's off the page
He is old, filled with rage
Smuggle the whiskey to your ailing Grandmother
Into the hospital and under the pillow

[Chorus]
Tail end, Hurricane Charlie
The beach, the moon, your skin
Come back to me, Charlie

[Outro]
Ooo-oooh
Ooo-oooh
