lyrics

This one comes from Southwold
A sunny July day
You'd placed your hand within of my hand
Left a token of the way
I made you feel like you could move on
Leave your troubles in our wake
We were both drunk on love and sunned up
Mister blue sky played

Your best friend took a picture
I still treasure it today
You'd placed your head under my arm
Within the nook, you'd always lay
I could have stayed there in that moment
Forever and a day
But now that's just a memory

And what do they mean now
Now that our love has gone away
It's just a pocket full of sand
Our loves becomes a weight
Like pebbles from the beach
Raining down on me
Everyone a memory
What have they come to mean

This one comes from Mersea
A sunny autumn day
We took drive down to the coast
A little time to steal away
In among the driftwood
You found a shell that caught your eye
You gave me it a keep safe
I found it the other night

It's broken into piece
Kind of mirrors you and I
I can't help now wonder what was the point
In all those summer nights
Collecting all these memories
Tokens of our love
I've a pocket full of pictures, pebbles, shells

Because what do they mean now
Now that our love has gone away
It's just a pocket full of sand
Our loves becomes a weight
Like pebbles from the beach
Raining down on me
Everyone a memory
What have they come to mean

I really should let these go now
You know they're nothing but a strain on my heart
It's not so easy to do
When they're all
That I have
Left of you now

What do they mean now
Now that our love has gone away
It's just a pocket full of sand
Our loves becomes a weight
Like pebbles from the beach
Raining down on me
Everyone a memory
What have they come to mean
