Beach Cleaners

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

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
02:47

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

A Cliff Top In Blue
02:29
|

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.
