Walked I by the shining sea
Kissing by the dancing waves.
Red, yellow and orange sky,
Smiling down upon from high.
Golden sands stretch far beyond,
Children play in careless glee;

What a world of splendour,
Boats of fishermen rowing home,
Flocks of birds returning home,
Thought I too of my own home
Of all the love and warmth of home.
Walked I by the shining sea
Kissed by the dancing waves.

When it was all just fine.
I guess I should’ve listened to the voice inside,
But it’s just so hard when your mind is occupied.
Yes, it all started with you but ended with me,
Because I thought no one could see the reality,
