We can always come back Said the mum to the boy On the beach was a ploy And the boy knew Her words were only words We were on the beach too A mother and the girls at the start of the world and I was there too Taking pictures of us all But I don't remember pictures Though I have them to hand I remember the sand on your face though And the shivering from the sea Carried on a shoulder Still in a towel and I still don't know how we made it And I think I'll never know Happiness is action At the end of the day There was nothing to say But we all knew That sleep would be well You can't preserve the moments They move with the air to the gods of nowhere But we were all there And it's good enough for me
