Well it's time we took the air,
I'll walk you to the door
They put it in my head,
that you and me are no more
We've got nothing left here,
and there's nothing to decide
They've already had way too much
of my time
I'm not gonna fan the flames
I'll bore you to tears
about the good old days
No
U .P .I .A .s, just pack your bags
Cause I'm taking you to
Canberra
Sands
That's the title of the song
We get away from this town
Where the pavement's stained is the
bank street of your heart
That's clogging up your vein
s when the rain falls down
Or the rain falls hard,
a long tale might talk from a well so dark
The lonely hearts fail and lonely
lovers meet by slogans on walls
And the sewer crawls into the streets
With the love, with the joy, and the ecstasy
Ah, the profoundness
of your dreams
Oh that time we took the
air outside the county lines
We took off our clothes,
we swam back in time
We floated all the way back to 83
To forget all the pain,
did you ever feel so carefree?
Oh, bare are the shoulder
s that'll carry me
Oh, when I'm older, across the quicksand,
the darker land
Put on your gloves,
we're heading back to
Can berra
Sands
But I shivered, I panicked
for the present day
The silver that glistened every holiday
The sand mirrored the water
and I watered
the sand
The sea walls in the distance
are camber sands
Where lonely hearts fail,
and lonely lovers meet
By slogans on walls,
and the sewer crawls into the sea
With a love, with a joy, and the ecstasy
Oh, the profoundness of your
dreams
Had some holiday that you turned out to be
You dredged up the mud along
Monkey
Beach
You disappeared in the pastures
for miles and miles
Till the tide caught up with you o 'er the
Mersey
Isle
Where my fortress awaits
to see and breathe
The roads will explain the lonely music
Of the resolute, of the half -blind
From the saddest tunes,
well I turn my face towards the city
My heart filled with stories
like relics from the past
Did I drown, did I choke,
did I get in your way?
That I'll waltz into the dark
side of yesterday
Oh the dark side of yesterday
Oh the dark side
Well, it's time we took the air I
walked you to the door
Don't put it in my head
You and me are no more
I'll pat up your back,
just give me your hand I'm taking you to
Canberra
Sands
