lyrics

BERTRA BEACH

Summer sun on Bertra beach
We can live in the lifeguard's hut
With the front and the back door all in one
We'd watch the sand blow round the room

Mermaid sat at a driftwood table
Imaginations wild and free
Sea rods danced a sailor's hornpipe
I skimmed stones on a golden seaTony Reidy

Walk for miles on a summer's night
Closing times' hours away
Shadows long with fading light
A pilgrim path leads into haze

Bet'cha pound I'll get back first
Sand filed shoes were out of breath
Back in town its whit weekend
Too late for drinks but what the hell

Nearly home I let go your hand
To change down gears on the avenue
Wheels on gravel the dogs barkin'
Turn the keys throw off our shoes
