Porpoises

One hour in the sand and the weather is rolling in

Odd day out in the sun is growing thin

But a the dolphin in the breakers

No, a porpoise, by mistake

"Don't worry son, that's the only one liable to make"

The beach is all but scattered, and the sky has all turned gray

But the rain that breaks the surface makes a swimmer want to stay

The porpoises, the porpoises will play

The castle's only half built

The battle has not begun

Lay down your arms

Mother Nature has won

"Can we jump into the ocean?"

"No son, not today.

We'll come again tomorrow let the porpoise have their play"

The porpoises, the porpoises, the porpoises will play

Olly! Olly! In come free!

No one here but you and me

And a school of porpoises jumping in a rainy sea

And a camera was forgotten just like every holiday

Oh well, I know that magic spells don't last long anyway

The porpoises, the porpoises, the porpoises will play

One hour in the sand and the weather is rolling in

Odd day out in the sun is growing dim

Looking out as I listen to the whisper on the sand

I can't translate this feeling, but I think you understand

The rain is getting harder, now I think we'd better go

Our battle plans etched in the sand are starting to erode

Let's run inside and listen as the rainfall melts the day

Let's sink down and hide and leave the tide to the porpoises at play

The rain is getting harder now I wish we could stay

Let's sink down and hide and leave the tide to the porpoises at play
