In the land of forever summer
Beneath the meadow of sweet dreams
In between the ocean of blue champagne
There lies the white sand of silvery velvet
Softer than a feather
Light as a lavender’s kiss
Water rolling toward where the breeze belongs
Till the infinite sky merged
The endless horizon gone
The wild days forgotten
Bottles, postcards traveled from afar
Ocean is our only distance apart
Yet we’re all living under the same stars
Then the tunnel of the indigo night swallows them all
The splash of nostalgic sunlight sparks through the passing windows of the last train
Casting myriads of lonesome shadows on the red brick wall
For the one last time
Dreaming my way back to the East Coast
Oh the land of forever summer

Written in remembrance of one summer in Cairns.
