Give me your eyes that I might see
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming, my head turns to dust
As he plays on his knees
(As he plays on his knees)
And the sand and the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away on a strange day

And I laugh as I drift in the wind
Blind, dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
Sudden hush across the water
And we're here again
The sand and the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away on a strange day

My head falls back
And the walls crash down
And the sky and the impossible explode
Held for one moment, I remember a song
An impression of sound
Then everything is gone forever

A strange day
A strange day

    Read the book "On The Beach" by Nevil Shute and the lyrics will make total sense.
