I am many miles away
From where I should be
Hiding in a hideaway
Gazing out to sea
High tide in the channel
Ships sail by my way
While pigeons grey the skies
Around Burger Bar Bay
Alone with the driftwood
The wind and the salty spray
Noting down seabirds
That pass my way today
Migrate over winter
Down Africa way
While pigeons grey the skies
Around Burger Bar Bay
While pigeons grey the skies
Around Burger Bar Bay
Sanderling and curlew
Golden plover and you
On the mud below where the traffic flies
What am I going to do?
I am many miles away
From where I should be
Hiding in a hideaway
Gazing out to sea
High tide in the channel
Ships sail by my way
While pigeons grey the skies
While pigeons grey the skies
Around Burger Bar Bay
