Lyrics

Once again take it from the top
Promise me we won't stop, till we get it right
Sweet Marie lives across the boarder
She looks just like her mother in a certain light

In the sunshine on the beach, feel it all slip out of reach

Remind me that I'm lonely in this city
When things are just so busy, it doesn't feel like home
West 16 basement parking stall
Whisper through the wall, hear the neighbours moan

In the sunshine on the beach, feel it all slip out of reach
And now the sand falls between the glass as the future becomes the past

Victory square standing in the silence
The pigeons and the pilots, trumpets intertwined
Side by side; bankers and the homeless
Native and invader under the same sky

In the sunshine on the beach, feel it all slip out of reach

Lest we fail to remember all the parts
To a dance that stops and starts I swear we'll get another try
Last time through taken from the top
Promise me we'll stop, once we get it right

In the sunshine on the beach, feel it all slip out of reach
And now the sand falls between the cracks as the future becomes the past
As the future becomes the past
