Lyrics
It's sunday it's morning
I've got plans to see her
downtown on main street
we'll meet over coffee today
Quickly she climbs in smiling
happy to be rescued from raindrops and bus stops
she needs somewhere to land
Yeah yeah in a world unkind
I can help you ease your mind
Alone by the ocean
We can laugh we can have some wine
waste some of your precious time
Alone by the ocean
Sadness on her face
she says her job makes her like that
she writes on her placemat
someone take me away
Yeah yeah in a world unkind
I can help you ease your mind
Alone by the ocean
We can laugh we can have some wine
waste some of your precious time
Alone by the ocean
And that?s where I can show you how I really feel
Got back to my place I trace
back the day we first met
she seemed like a magnet
and I could not keep away
I?m still like that today
