about

This is about Druridge Bay in Northumberland - and yes, that is a Sandpiper you can hear at the end.

lyrics

V1. The hidden bay where the road leads down to the sea. The valley mist swirls around your feet. The
water flows down, down, down to me. Chorus: And the waves are gently rolling. A soothing of the sand. I hear
the Sandpiper calling. As the cool, cool breeze it blows. V2. The fisherman casting from the rocks to catch the
lea. The herring gull dives to catch a fish I cannot see. See the small boats rise and fall, running with the sea.
Chorus. Bridge: It’s time, a time away to run. It’s time, a time away to run. V3. That day in May, we’re watching
as the sun goes down. Around the bay you can see the lights of a distant town. The tide is back. The moon is
coming up without a sound. Chorus.
