By The Sea
Bryson/McDowall
I wish I could be
Close to you
By the sea
And I know that you would
want to be there too
Where the sea is green
and the sky is oh so blue
We could walk together
on the beach we two
We could roll down our socks
and kick off both our shoes
We can drift on a raft
until late afternoon
If we stayed a bit longer
it would still be far too soon
There’s an island out there
where I’d like to go and hide
And when we get tired
we can drift back with the tide
I’m so glad we came
To the seaside
In the rain
But now
Its time to go
We drive our car
Very slow
