There, where the seagulls fly
Where land meets sea, ocean meets sky
In the warm summer sun
You smiled at me, our laughter had just begun
The comforting rays, warming the sands
Guiding the wind with a single hand
Nothing could bring storm clouds in
And there our dream
Would gain life and begin
That was the way it was going to be
Forever in the sun, forever with me
And if you ever became sad
I would bring you through
Smiling in the warm summer sun
Running with the wind, laughing, feeling young
And if the hurricane took you away from me
I would stay there, where land meets the sea
Dreaming of you, and what used to be
Where land meets the sea.
Counting each and every grain
Living and laughing through any pain
The sun shone on that clear summer day
The crystal tide washed the dream away
Though the day was like no other
Don’t think there will ever be another
The gulls rode the wind, diving in the ocean
We always adored the sun, laughed at any notion
Always wanted to do what had never been done
Staying on the beach, staying free and young
Staying content with the way it would be
Smiling in the sun, where land meets the sea
And the sun shone on the clear summer day
The crystal tide came and washed that dream away
That was the way it was going to be
Forever in the sun, forever with me
And if you ever became sad
I would bring you through
Smiling in the warm summer sun
Running with the wind, laughing, being young
And if the hurricane took you away from me
I would stay there, where land meets the sea
Dreaming of you, and what used to be
Where land meets the sea.
