We were Benji, me and you.
It was the summer of....
We saw the ship leaving the beach,
"I love you", you read her lips.
You were younger, didn´t care.
Time doesn´t matter when there´s....
Life´s too short to stop and think.
It doesn´t matter, there´s love to share.
We saw the ship leaving the beach,
"I love you" you read her lips.
Herman I will always remember what you told me:
"Always trying to get that girl
but you know it´s like picking up the sand.
It rolls down the palm of my hand
like the tears on my face the night when we were one"
But i´m sure you´ll get some sand if you close your hand.
A glass, a bottle, a dying cigarette;
you could hardly hear the music.
While you discovered love, you could only hear
the breaking waves, the silent breeze
Then at the porch, when she said bye
you couldn´t hear the name she cried.
And in the morning when you read those lines
knew you had lost Hermie last night
You could never understand,
no you never saw her again, each
time when there´s something new that you find
there´re some other things you leave behind
