Down on the Sou-west beaches where the cold wind blows x 2
We walk along the shallows talking soft and low
Down on the Sou-west beaches where the cold wind blows
She sang let me be the ocean that you dive into x 2
Down here in the depths I’ll dive with you
I said let me be your tide and I’ll move with you x 2
I will bring you shells and pearls at the bidding of the moon
I sang let me be the sky that you soar into x 2
Up here in the clouds I’ll soar with you
She said let us be as dolphins we’ll sail the oceans wide x 2
We’ll dance under the water, we’ll soar into the sky
Let us be as dolphins we’ll sail the oceans wide
Repeat first verse
We wrestle in the shallows as the evening sun goes down
She said we can be the planets on our orbits wide/spinning side by side x 2
Our love is the sun that holds us in its eye
I said let me be your eagle riding on a lifting breeze x 2
Lets fly across the deserts broad let’s fly across the seven seas
I was talking with my baby lying in the summer sand x2
She looked me in the eye and took me by the hand
own along the Gippsland beaches
All through that dreamy summer
Down near the faded coal town
I was starting to feel calmer?
There in the golden evenings
We’d lie upon the cooling sand
You rose up on your elbow
You smiled, paused and sang/said
Let me be the ocean
That you dive into
Down here in the deep I wait for you
I said let me be the dolphin and I will sing and play x 2
I’ll sing for you forever until our days are through
Let me be the sky
That you glide/soar into
Up here in the clouds I long for you
That you ride on the air/breeze
I’ll be your cormorant/sea bird (?) baby diving deep down into you
Let me be the ocean, that you dive into
I will buoy you like the dolphins and the mighty whales do
You can play amongst my islands, or set off for distant shores
I will always be there with you, if you will sail to me once more
