A Day A Way Lyrics by Bridget St. John

Songs for the Gentle Man

0

[Verse 1]
We ran away for a day from the city
Smiled through the rain as we rode to the sea
Left behind all of the tired Sunday faces
Happy at last to be just you and me
And the traffic was lazy and no one would hurry
We thought we would never get by
But in time, we were out of the slow city suburbs
Onto the road that reached out for the sea
[Verse 2]
The fields were all battlefields, spattered with trees
Like tired tattered scarecrows bent over their knees
And the leaves made the litter and covered the land
Lost autumn confetti, a patchwork unscanned
And the wind scrawled a lane through the stubble
And stayed with us all the way down to the shore
Where the sea growled before us and spread out her hands
As she ploughed through the pebbles to grab at the sand
[Verse 3]
We ran to the beach with the wittering wind
And scrabbled for shells and mysterious things
Hurled stones at the waves, fed our feet to the tide
She rose up to take us but we leapt aside
Then the day had to end, though we wanted to play there forever
We wished we could stay
And we combed out the spray from our sea tangled hair
And left for the city
