Oh and the waves are coming in
Out of the corner of my eye
I think I see you standing outside

Hanging on the washing line
Waving it's arm as the wind blows by
And it looks so alive
Nice and white
Just like it's climbed right out
of my washing machine…”

At the end of the day in a dream that's divine;

With the world far away and your lips close to mine.”

And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still, still
I saw you lingering still”
