He S On The Beach lyrics

(Kirsty MacCollGavin Povey)

He was just a friend of mine
I`d run in to from time to time
And long before he moved away
We used to share a taste for wine

There`s something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He`s on the beach
I know he`s changed somehow
He writes us postcards now
He`s on his own again

And he says, he says, he says it`s brilliant there
There`s something in the air
And sunshine everywhere, he`s on the beach
I know he`s changed somehow
It`s in his postcards now
He`s on his own again, so far out of reach
And he says it`s brilliant there
There`s something in the air
And sunshine everywhere, he`s on the beach
