He's On The Beach Lyrics - Kirsty Maccoll

He was just a friend of mine 

I'd run in to from time to time 

And long before he moved away 

We used to share a taste for wine 

Still I never knew that he was sad back then 

He said, the time had come, for him, to take a holiday 

And he says it's brilliant there 

There's something in the air 

And sunshine everywhere 

He's on the beach 

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

I'm not sure where he is, but he is out of reach 

When he called me up one day 

And said that he was going away 

I thought he meant a week in France 

And not 12,000 miles to Sydney Bay 

Still he had to take his chances 

He said, the time had come for him to make a move away 

And he says it's brilliant there 

There's something in the air 

And sunshine everywhere 

He's on the beach 

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

He's on his own again and he is out of reach 

(I bet he gets it on the beach) 

And I don't blame him 

Leaving was the best thing he could do 

He longed for changes 

I just hope he's happy when he does the things he thinks he has to do 

And he tries, and he tries, yes he tries 

But he's a little bit hard on himself 

So now he's trying to be someone else 

And he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there 

There's something in the air 

And sunshine everywhere 

He's on the beach 

I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now 

He's on his own again, so far out of reach 

And he says it's brilliant there 

There's something in the air 

And sunshine everywhere 

He's on the beach 

I know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now 

He's in Australia, so far out of reach 

And he says it's brilliant there
