Sand And Sea

I have a photo of our old home
Windows bathed in sunlight
There’s you and me and mum and dad
When everything was alright

I wonder why I’m looking now
At something long ago
And when you think you’re getting close
It seems you still don’t know

It’s as if when you can’t sum it up in one line
It ain’t worth saying
Or it takes a lifetime to work it out
It ain’t worth trying

I still have a memory of being sixteen
Stood in the hall alone
You’re calling me and then I see
Your black heart on the floor by the phone

You’d ask me why I’m thinking now
About something long ago
And when you think you’re getting close
It seems you still don’t know

It’s as if when you can’t sum it up in one line
It ain’t worth saying
Or it takes a lifetime to work it out
It ain’t worth waiting

Now I’d travel north and get away
Live on dreams and chances 
But the fear is that sand and sea
Never sort the answers

Don’t ask me why I’m running now
From something long ago
Cos when you think you’re getting close
Look out, you still don’t know

It’s as if when you can’t sum it up in one line
It ain’t worth saying
Or it takes a lifetime to work it out
It ain’t worth trying

When you can’t sum it up in one line
It ain’t worth saying
But if it takes a lifetime to work it out
It’s still worth waiting…still worth waiting

It’s just the sand, it’s just the sea
It ain’t no story about you and me

It’s just a view along a shore
Nothing less and nothing more

You feel the earth beneath the stones
And it brings this feeling you’re all alone

(But there’s) No need to cry or say goodbye
Cos it ain’t no story about you and I

Ain’t no story about you and I

No need to cry for sand and sea
Cos this ain’t no story about you and me
