lyrics

We’re walking barefoot in the tide
And the moon is riding high
The planes hang there like fireflies
In the velvet evening sky

I’ve forgotten everything
Who we are and what we do
Just this tune in my head
And reading minds with you

There’s no one on the beach
But a kid collecting shells
And two figures holding hands
Like ghosts haunting themselves

The lights are shining on the church
And here we are again
With sand between our toes
Eating ice cream in the rain

Today the sea was silver and the sky was grey
Don’t try to catch me I’ll be miles away
We’ll be here again
Eating ice cream in the rain
Here again
Eating ice cream in the rain

Today was silver but my mind was grey
Don’t try to reach me I’ll be miles away
We’ll be here again
Eating ice cream in the rain
Here again
Eating ice cream in the rain
