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 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 I wish you could be Wish you could be Wish you could be here Postcard, postcard, postcard
