Lyrics:

[Verse 1]**lf**We ran away for a day from the city**lf**Smiled through the rain as we rode to the sea**lf**Left behind all of the tired Sunday faces**lf**Happy at last to be just you and me**lf**And the traffic was lazy and no one would hurry**lf**We thought we would never get by**lf**But in time, we were out of the slow city suburbs**lf**Onto the road that reached out for the sea**lf****lf**[Verse 2]**lf**The fields were all battlefields, spattered with trees**lf**Like tired tattered scarecrows bent over their knees**lf**And the leaves made the litter and covered the land**lf**Lost autumn confetti, a patchwork unscanned**lf**And the wind scrawled a lane through the stubble**lf**And stayed with us all the way down to the shore**lf**Where the sea growled before us and spread out her hands**lf**As she ploughed through the pebbles to grab at the sand**lf****lf**[Verse 3]**lf**We ran to the beach with the wittering wind**lf**And scrabbled for shells and mysterious things**lf**Hurled stones at the waves, fed our feet to the tide**lf**She rose up to take us but we leapt aside**lf**Then the day had to end, though we wanted to play there forever**lf**We wished we could stay**lf**And we combed out the spray from our sea tangled hair**lf**And left for the city
