lyrics

It’s been several weeks since I last saw you,
The moving pictures on my phone just about help me through,
The savage news it causes me,
The wonder if you’re walking free,
Or if you’re feeling anxious like I do,

If we go down to the street corner,
You can see the law and order,
Struggling with the rights and wrongs,
The doctors risking lives today.
There’s just people growing older,
With that chip upon their shoulder,
Not keeping to the rules as we keep wondering,

When will we breathe the sea air again?
When will we see the breeze kissing the waves upon their heads?
It’s the salty air, I dream of, the moonlight on your cheeks,
See the starlight, dance like fireflies, in your eyes.

It’s been several hours since I last spoke to you,
I’m lying all alone in the dark of my bedroom,
It feels like an omen,
That right here in this moment,
I’ve never been more excited to see you,

We’ll go down the street corner,
And oh I’d better warn ya,
I’ll sweep you off your feet,
As I’m not stopping there that day,
I’ll take you to the beachside,
And there I’ll be holding you tight,
As there will be no rules to hold us back

When will we breathe the sea air again?
When will we see the breeze kissing the waves upon their heads?
It’s the salty air, I dream of, the moonlight on your cheeks,
See the starlight, dance like fireflies, in your eyes.
