LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION
A song about a homesick man in a foreign country

It was a funny little sunny summers day

and I'm sat all alone in a seaside cafe

Everybody's on the beach or in the sea

Me? I'm in the darkest place

That there could ever be

----------------------------------

chorus

Sitting on my own Without the ones that I love

And I just don't know what I was doing there

Longing for home and the pleasure it brings

and the welcome that`s waiting for me there

And they're driving on the wrong side of the road

They're still driving on the wrong side of the road

----------------------------------

It's funny how everybody looks the same

While drinking, from behind a window pane

Families, buying ice creams, and renting cars

Me? I somehow cope on my own in this bar



----------------------------------

chorus

----------------------------------

When you're working so hard, days they just come and go

That's what you're here for hello, dear, hello

The telephone, it works to a certain degree

For now, it's the closest that we can ever be
