One sunday morning I woke up, sharing the bed with a real cute lady. I sneaked to my keyboard and I started to play this song. “What’s that?”, she said half asleep. “It just came to my mind, its’ something from Lenny Kravitz”.
I said that because I woke up after having dreamt about hearing Lenny at the Radio.
The rest of the melody came to my mind after few days, but the track remained without lyrics for nearly 7 years. Never recorded. Only in my head. The name for the title came to my mind during a winter walk by the sea, complaining to myself on how beach volley fields were given more and more space from the beach every year. In time the song became some sort of Strawberry Fields 2.0. Take it away.
lyrics
It’s funny you know
It’s changing my soul
once over
we’re closer
Still messed by the flight
No time for goodbyes
come over
we’re closer
The sun in the sky
will shine in your eyes
as strand will warm your hands
a rain of glint and grain
But the place that I knew
has changed as well
as I can’t believe
that sight it’s true
Down on my knees
Here I’m begging you please
bring me back what is due
for I feel myself screwed
All I can see
Fucking beac-volley fields
and the place where I grew
now got ruined by youth
It’s funny no more
you cheated my soul
it’s over
my lover
still messed by the fight
it’s time for goodbyes
move out there
I told her
The sun in the sky
Will shine out of sight
as hold will loose my hands
and rain will wash her blaim
But the girl that I knew
was changed as well
and I can’t retrieve
the faith once so pure
