Sitting at the beach
At night

Where the fire keeps you company
When all the sailors have gone to bed
Where the sea sings its song
And it makes you forget
About the pain and the horror
The others went through
The reason they’ve gone to bed
And now only there’s you
Staring blankly at your hourglass
Knowing life well enough to say
That it doesn’t spare any
It’s going to take you in its sway

Sitting at the beach
At night

Where the sand tickles your feet
Teasing you like an old lover
Where the wind cools you down
While the heat makes you hover
You force this happy smile at first
Because tickling should be funny
but then again there are  tears
Why did you leave me, honey
These yellow stains they went away
And so did your little freckle
But I have to stop wondering
And I really shouldn't heckle

Sitting at the beach
At night

Where the stars keep on staring
No matter where your beach might be
They don’t make you do but realise
How important are we?
My lover has gone and I will have pain
But these bright spots are infinite
And I am just this little stain
So what is there to do for me
In this endless tree of time
As this small and lonely chloroplast
I’ll keep on trying to be fine

Look at the sky and now look at me
Like those wonderful planets, is that how you want to be?

They might be magnificent but they keep doing the same
They circle around with fun neither shame

Together we can break such a routine
Life can be better than it sometimes may seem

All you have to do is accept the good parts
Don’t resist, but enjoy this assembling of hearts

Look at the sea and now look at me
Like these glimmering waves, is that how you want to be?

They grow and they grow but they die at the shore
Growing seems to be all that they are living for

Now learning is good but what is life without pleasure
For just one night you could be my loved treasure

I might be different from all you know and all you’ll ever see
But doesn’t that make you realise how special this could be

Look at the sand around us and now look at me
This actually is how I would like us to be

Close together at the most precious place
Evermore near the sea, the sky and your gorgeous face

I don’t expect us to live forever here
But please don’t let my whole wish end up in a tear

Now please stop my longing and come oh so close
Together we will be like a blooming rose
