Coastal Daze

It’s just another day
In just another coastal town
It could be anywhere
But we’ve got you coming ‘round

We’ll walk down to the River Mouth
Where sapphire turns to turquoise
On the edges of the bay
We’ve got you coming over
It’s just another coastal day

The endless sets roll in
A moby dances in the bay
And Sydney’s far from here
On just another coastal day

We got your news today
We heard you buzzing on the Sydney line
Next June’s not far away
It’s as if you’d been here yesterday
And we know you’re doing fine
We’ll take you to the water’s edge
We’ll swim just like your younger days
Like we did when you lived here
And you’ll dive under the waves
And disappear

Walk around the cliff-top trail
Stop at lookouts on the way
Enjoy you being here
On yet another coastal day

We’ll walk down to the River Mouth
Where sapphire turns to turquoise
On the edges of the bay
We’ve got you coming over
It’s just another coastal day

We’ll take the highway south
Head down the Teararse through the trees
There’s no-one else about
Forever empty sand and sea

And we’ll take you to the water’s edge
We’ll swim just like your younger days
Like we did when you lived here
And you’ll dive under the waves
And disappear
You surface on the other side
Laughing as you flick your hair
Wipe water from your eyes
And you say how good it feels
To be alive
