Postcard
Hollies · Clarke Hicks & Nash Years [2011]
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
