He was just a friend of mine<br /> I'd run in to from time to time<br /> And long before he moved away<br /> We used to share a taste for wineStill I never knew that he was sad back then<br /> He said, the time had come, for him, to take a holidayAnd he says it's brilliant there<br /> There's something in the air<br /> And sunshine everywhere<br /> He's on the beachI know he's changed somehow, he sends us postcards now<br /> I'm not sure where he is, but he is out of reachWhen he called me up one day<br /> And said that he was going away<br /> I thought he meant a week in France<br /> And not 12,000 miles to Sydney BayStill he had to take his chances<br /> He said, the time had come for him to make a move awayAnd he says it's brilliant there<br /> There's something in the air<br /> And sunshine everywhere<br /> He's on the beachI know he's changed somehow, he writes us postcards now<br /> He's on his own again and he is out of reach<br /> (I bet he gets it on the beach)And I don't blame him<br /> Leaving was the best thing he could do<br /> He longed for changes<br /> I just hope he's happy when he does the things he thinks he has to doAnd he tries, and he tries, yes he tries<br /> But he's a little bit hard on himself<br /> So now he's trying to be someone elseAnd he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there<br /> There's something in the air<br /> And sunshine everywhere<br /> He's on the beachI know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now<br /> He's on his own again, so far out of reachAnd he says it's brilliant there<br /> There's something in the air<br /> And sunshine everywhere<br /> He's on the beachI know he's changed somehow, it's in his postcards now<br /> He's in Australia, so far out of reach<br /> And he says it's brilliant there<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> KIRSTY MACCOLL, GAVIN POVEYPublished by<br /> Lyrics © BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT US, LLCLyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>
