Memorial Beach
A-Ha · Memorial Beach
In times of change
My bags are packed, guess I'm leaving
the womb
Into the rain
We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried
Toes in the sand, the seductive sway
Ooh...nothing better, babe
Across the bay--Sarasota Way
We held together
We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah
Into the rain:
The summer rain
So we walk down to Memorial Beach
Where things began
Honey days and nights without sleep
Lost in the sand
We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah
We never found
A place to hide
Some peace of mind
God knows we tried, yeah
So we walk down to Memorial Beach
