Coast Is Calling

Time moves quicker every day, the first time we met feels a world away Talked over coffee, and looked out at the pouring rain As our younger years passed on by, I wanted something else from the New York life To feel sea air blowin' in the wind When the coast is calling, I know I'll have to go We can live there together, we'll be there when we're old When I ask you darling, if you want I'll drive you home When the coast is calling, for me, I know I'll have to go home Twenty years pass by, I looked at the sky, and realised I was running out of time Floating away, down on the shoreline I told her I've walked that coastline all my life, but my only fear was that I Would never see your curled black hair blowin' in the wind When the coast is calling, I know I'll have to go Leave the coast to my children, it'll be there for when I'm gone And I promise you darling, won't you please pick up the phone When the coast is calling, for me, I know I'll have to go home Thirty years go by, I wake up at night, and see you in the picture frame from the moonlight Watching the waves, until sunrise Every crash of a wave is a remedy, to my younger memories 'Cause all I had is long gone and blown away in the wind But I remember your smile, when I met you for the first time On the day that I die, I'll think back to that smile And the coast was crying, it was crying for me When you said to me that night, I just have to be free Nothing lasts forever, even stars in the sky But there's a way for me and you girl, on the other side When the coast is calling, see that blue horizon glow When the coast is calling, for me, I know I'll have to go home I know I'll have to go I know I'll have to go Even just for a while Just for a while I know I'll have to go I know we'll have to go I know we'll have to go Just to go to the coast
