Whitley Bay Songtext

von Maz O'Connor

You've grown like the grass
That springs outside your door
But your eyes
Haven't changed
Your clothes have grown worn
Like the sand on the shore
But the skies
Will remain
We came here to talk
But in evening's light
There seems nothing
We can say
Bound by surprise
And the glow in your eyes
I (?)
You move away
I lost a piece of my heart
That day
When we said goodbye
On opposite sides
Of Whitley Bay
You were always the one
To go splashing around
While I
Would sit and watch the waves
You said time is a wave love
We must learn to ride
Or go hurtling
To our graves
And you'll lose a piece of your heart
If you stay
But leaving was always the hardest part
Of Whitley Bay
I still come here to sit
From time to time
It's as though
You are here
You said life is a ride
On a full flowing tide
In its grip
There's nothing to fear
I lost a piece of my heart
That day
When we said goodbye
On opposite sides
Of Whitley Bay
Oh I lost a piece of my heart
When I stayed
But leaving was always the hardest part
Of Whitley Bay
You said life is a ride
On a full flowing tide
But you never
Never let me near
