They said "We'll take you down to Saie Harbour oh there's nothing there but sea and sand. There are no candy stalls, no amusement halls but there's something there you'll understand"... And in my mind again, I hear you call my name.... then take my hand and lead me down the winding lane down to the bay.... CHORUS: As the sunlight breaks between the leaves and it hangs in ribbons from the trees... in the last hours of a summer afternoon, I let my memory stray along the road to Saie... and I wait by the bay - for you.... We watched the coast of France, beyond the water dance in the heat-haze - I see it still... Our words are like a part I've come to know by heart as I replay each scene at will.... Act One - the pebbles skim.... Act Two - the tide rolls in.... and then the film stops, the reel spins free and you're gone again..... oh you're gone again. CHORUS: As the sunlight breaks between the leaves and it hangs in ribbons from the trees... in the last hours of a summer afternoon, I let my memory stray along the road to Saie... and I wait by the bay - for you.... Now the Island she calls me like a long-lost lover or sometimes a mother for her straying child and I must come flying where seagulls crying are the only answer to a heart grown wild. And I neither know, nor care, if people stop and stare when I run to meet you, greet you, laughing to the air because you're waiting there.... CHORUS: As the sunlight breaks between the leaves and it hangs in ribbons from the trees... in the last hours of a summer afternoon, I let my memory stray along the road to Saie... and I wait by the bay - for you.... |
