OK Martin, here goes:

LISTEN TO THE OCEAN
(Nina Møller & Frederik van Pallandt)

There's a world of sun and sand
Full of sky and far from land
Where evening breezes caress the shore like a gentle comforting hand
Fragrant blossoms, honey bees
Careless laughter upon the breeze
And lovers fade into pools of deep purple shadows among the trees

CHORUS: Listen to the ocean, echoes of a million seashells
Forever it's in motion
Moving to a rhythmic and unwritten music
That's played eternally

The sound of a seagull's distant cry
His wings like parentheses drawn in the sky*
And two white birds clinging like foam to the crest of a wave rolling by
The silence of noon, the clamour of night
The heat of the day when the fish won't bite
These are the things that remind me of the day you sailed out of sight

CHORUS


* I assume continental style < > rather than "" ! to make sense! RMS
(Paul van Lawick can supply it in MP3 format)
