A neon advertisement of Elizebeth Arden was sparking in a wonderful 3D Array I was passing thru Shanklin, Heading towards Sandown And beyond Black Gang Chine, Heading up to White Cliff Bay. Walking thru a prehistoric night, And Evelyn suggested that we liberate a boat- I replied, Why don't we awaken our ghosts to float on the still night airway ? 240 feet above the Chanel aqua-spray, Aware of only night from day, And however angelic my love is, Her personality can revolve in a mysterious way, She blessed my notion And her first idea joined the corrosion At the foot of White Cliff Bay. Her eyes spoke to me. You are only as conscientious as your persona allows. We watched the angry coast, Coaxing and tormenting Where the ancient ocean bows And nature steps over a part of time That tells of it's own decay, And man has no part here to play, As the wet chalk laments to the sky And the Devil crashes into innocent pacified Clay, Chaotic and ruthless against a naked White Cliff Bay.
This is how I came to be, Shaped by the perpetual onslaught of endless sea. Knowing that the harm that has been done to me Can never be justified, Just as childhood promises always have their fruitition shunned As every story book lied in the same fixtures where faithful ancestors Were betrayed As they knelt in hell - Burning as they prayed To a God who was now a witness here on White Cliff Bay.
But I feel a new direction is drifting my way And she touches my forhead I feel okay, And the whole unexplained truth of life is now unfolding Like the relics and the fossils of White Cliff Bay, And the new life I am holding.
