Lazing in the sunshine in the middle of the bay I made the most of the rainy day And when the city lights have swallowed up the sea All the fish rush to the sea bed no place for you and me
Trying to fill the empty spaces in your soul You’ve made new acquaintance but they always leave you cold
Everything that man esteems endures a single day Love’s pleasure always drives your love away
Petrels glided over glassy surface of the bay Counting of the minutes till the brake of day And when the city spreads its feelers in the sea Beware of runners sealers gazing over you and me
When you take a step into the chamber of the sea Now look out for a virgin place for you and me
