Sea And Sand lyrics

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned,
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own.
They finally threw me out
My mother got drunk on stout,
My dad couldn't stand on two feet,
As he lectured about moralit
t it but we tried to fight it.

It's Been Years lyrics

It's been years
Since I held you in my arms
And surrendered to your charms
Many years
Long ago
I was underneath your spell
Thought I'd never live to tell
Long ago
That was then
Back when I was hypnotized
By the passion in your eyes
W
 blown away
what else do I have to say?
