We’re walking through the sea spray, finding little rainbows and brightly coloured plastic is getting inbetween our toes. We’re blowing up a sand storm kicking pebbles and shells and brightly coloured plastic is everywhere we go. And it goes to show how far it flows when we throw away our harmless little trinkets. You wouldn’t really think it. We’re playing with the seagulls, they’re screeching ‘cause they know the brightly coloured plastic ain’t as bright as it glows. The colours are fantastic but the damage is drastic and this brightly coloured plastic is getting up our nose. And it goes to show how long it lasts. Some of these brightly coloured things have come a long way from the past. So when you cast away your cares and woes, just think for a minute about where that plastic goes. We’re walking on the shoreline thinking how the tide turns, waiting for a sea change when one day we might learn. We’re sitting at the seaside having lovely daydreams, hoping for a future where this beach stays clean.

Dream Boats 02:48
Floating in from distant shores. Dream boats, romantic thoughts. Reading a novel that we brought for the sun. Chapter one. Ship ahoy from abroad. Sailing out all onboard. Better still just watch it all from the comforts of our deckchairs. We don’t really have any reasons to go anywhere ‘cause freedom’s here. Freedom’s now. Just think how lucky we are. We don’t even have to think very far. Watching gulls flying high. See views with birds’ eyes. All in all not a bad call - coming here with nothing to do except maybe reading a chapter or two. Freedom’s here. Freedom’s now. Just think where else we could be. Lost in thought or lost at sea. Freedom’s here. Freedom’s now. Just think how lucky we are. Just think how lucky we are. Freedom’s here. Freedom’s now. Freedom’s here floating in from distant shores.

Sea birds fly. See the birds today. Sea birds fly. See them fly away. See them fly so high. Wave the birds goodbye. Sigh. With the birds gone it’s so quiet here. Where have the birds gone? Where did they disappear? Hope they come back fast. Hope that they’re not lost. But wait. Sea birds fly silhouettes in sun. Hear the birds cry we’ve come home.

When the coast is clear, if it ever is maybe we could do some loving, maybe we could find some peace and maybe we could go walking by the shore. Maybe when this has finished and we’ve come back from hell maybe we can revisit, realign and retell and maybe we could go walking by the shore and maybe as we’re walking we could re-fall and rekindle. Sometimes a truth just hits you. Sometimes a lie deceives. It doesn’t take a miracle to choose to believe that maybe we could soon be walking by the shore and maybe as we’re talking we could re-fall and rekindle

On this cliff top with you taking black and white pictures of blue. Capture us now to prove this is true, I’m here on this cliff top with you. Press record and then play, make a film to view another day. Making sure the memories stay of being here on this cliff top with you. All those times they said it couldn’t be so. All those times they said - it’s too early don’t go. All those times we thought it won’t happen - no but we’re here on this cliff top in blue.

It's a shore thing...that's for sure.
