He's on the Beach

He said, the time had come, for him, to take a holiday
He's on his own again, so far out of reach
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere

But he's a little bit hard on himself
And he says it's brilliant there
He's on the beach

And not 12,000 miles to Sydney Bay

I just hope he's happy when he does the things he thinks he has to do
I'm not sure where he is, but he is out of reach

I know he's changed somehow, he writes us postcards now

(I bet he gets it on the beach)
Still I never knew that he was sad back then
And he says it's brilliant there
And sunshine everywhere
I thought he meant a week in France
And he tries, and he tries, yes he tries
Leaving was the best thing he could do
He longed for changes
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
And he says it's brilliant there
When he called me up one day
And he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air

And I don't blame him

He's on the beach
Still he had to take his chances
And said that he was going away
He's on the beach

He said, the time had come for him to make a move away
And long before he moved away
There's something in the air
We used to share a taste for wine
I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now
And sunshine everywhere
So now he's trying to be someone else

There's something in the air
He's in Australia, so far out of reach
He's on the beach
And sunshine everywhere
He's on his own again and he is out of reach
I know he's changed somehow, he sends us postcards now
