The beach is a lonely place This time of year The mongers and the tourists And the children Have all disappeared I'm not sure what happened But it happened so fast People say love like this can never last But, what a night What a night What a night I'm still not alright Oh, you vanished Like a rainbow From the horizon of my heart Left me seaside like a homeless I pushed my sorrows in the car Oh, you vanished Like a shadow Into the darkness of the seas Maybe next time, my sweet lover I'll catch your perfume in the breeze Flicking through channels on the TV set To quiet my mind Reality shows and the news replaces The piece I can't find I'm not sure what happened But it happened so fast People say love like this can never last Fortune tellers And tarot cards Can't find the clues Won't heal my scars Oh, you vanished Like a rainbow From the horizon of my heart Left me seaside like a homeless I pushed my sorrows in the car Oh, you vanished Like a shadow Into the darkness of the seas Maybe next time, my sweet lover I'll catch your perfume in the breeze And you'll bring summer back again... Oh, you vanished Like a rainbow From the horizon of my heart Left me seaside like a homeless I pushed my sorrows in the car Oh, you vanished Like a shadow Into the darkness of the seas Maybe next time, my sweet lover I'll catch your perfume in the breeze
