Seaside Town in January


Seaside town in January
Washed away by the rain
Blown away by the wind
Seagulls drifting over the beach
The only sign of life

Slowly
Very slowly
I'm saying goodby
Leaving the country
That now feels like home to me

Just hours before I cross the sea
Leaving this country behind
Washed away by the rain
Blown away by the wind
