When sand's close at hand   And the sea is touching me   I feel much happier than I've ever felt      And a long time goes by   And I'm floating in the sky   And I wish you could be   Wish you could be here      And if you're free, follow me   Throw a pebble in my sea   The sun will wrap you up in a pool of gold   And lights in the night, in the night   Reaching neon waves of sight      But I wish you could be   Wish you could be   Wish you could be here      The sun, the sand, the sea are waiting   On the corner, take a trip out here   Hustle, bustle, shove and fuss   Will greet you if you stay there   I'm without a care      Fresh fruit and sea fish   Are in abundance here   But they don't allow   The natives at your door selling booze   Smuggled from another shore      And I wish you could be   Wish you could be   Wish you could be here      The sun, the sand, the sea are waiting   On the corner, take a trip out here   Hustle, bustle, shove and fuss   Will greet you if you stay there   I'm without a care      Fresh fruit and sea fish   Are in abundance here   But they don't allow   The natives at your door selling booze   Smuggled from another shore      And I wish you could be   Wish you could be   Wish you could be here      Postcard, postcard, postcard
