lyrics

I remember sitting with you by the ocean
you were pondering the changing tide
i blew smoke rings out into the evening
and i said i loved you on those back beaches of Rye

If i could've stilled the hands of time
you'd be in my arms, not just on my mind
love's like a bird and i found out the only way
yesterday how it weighs on my mind
here on the back beaches of Rye

I know the Bass Straight wind wont
bring back my youth again
but it does more than simply chill me to the bone
it knows a life i knew and holds the chances that i blew
and it knows me and you
when me and you was home

If i could've stilled the hands of time
you'd be in my arms, not just on my mind
love's like a bird and i found out the only way
yesterday how it's bound to see me cryin'
here on the back beaches of Rye

If i could've stilled the hands of time
you'd be in my arms, not just on my mind
love's like a bird and i found out the only way
like the hidden meanings in all of those songs we used to play
yesterday how it weighs on my mind
here on the back beaches of Rye
