Hey, been trying to find you
Walking up and down this beach
Searching for a fire still burning
O, this place
O, it reminds me
I can't recognize your face
It's not glowing in the moonlight
And so close that I could kiss you
I am young and I am old
I am swimming in the starlight
And I splash into the sunshine
Eating sandwiches on sweet rye
I am little, I am happy
Holding on to something that we know
The sand is always shifting
As we watch these children grow
Riding on our bikes into the sun
It's all changing when I see you
Where have they all gone
There was never anyone
Hey, you know I've missed you
Come and open up the house
Did you think this all was over
Put your feet upon the cool floor
Does it feel like it's still sandy
Are you falling from the front door
It may be that season left the world
We may have missed each other
Or any other girl
This may be a movie or a dream
But it's as real as anything you've ever seen
As real as you and me
Hold me in your arms
As this all passes away
