Just another song about Vancouver Island, this time about Tofino.
lyrics
Well I believe we’ll be gone
We’re driving this car down the road til’ we find
The surf and the beach and the waves and the fire
Ucluelet is holding, the sands of Tofino for us
And bodies will run to the shore
We’ll dive in the ocean its good for the soul
And wade the Pacific, It’s so fucking cold
On my hands, on my knees, in my lungs, yah but well swim
And broken bottles, and all of the coral beneath
And boats on the ocean, and waves on the shore next to me
We’ll make our beds by the sea
On Chesterman’s endless beach
And all I believe that we need
Just sand and the shells underneath
And darkness will fall in the pines
The smokes in our lungs and the haze in the air
The fires will start as the waves slowly die and we all
We move closer to see
The sparks hit the air and the sound
Of Ben Howard songs on my radio
We all know the words, but we’ll all fall up short as we try
Yah to sing them aloud
And all we had left with is no inhibitions or strain
And all we return with is memories and pockets of sand
(Chorus)
