Named for the island city at the tip of Florida, it runs over nine minutes with accordion throughout.
The words
The Florida island becomes a dreamlike refuge, a place of healing at the end of the road.
The narrator tells of the island city at the tip of Florida as a dreamlike refuge, a place where he finds healing and peace at the end of the road. The verses drift through memories of radio, poets, a presidential assassination and his own wanderings, always returning to the island in the refrain. The tone is gentle and wistful, like a slow dream. Running over nine minutes, it floats along with accordion throughout.
