Postcard - The Hollies

When sand’s close at hand

And the sea is touching me

I feel much happier

Than I’ve ever felt

And a long time goes by

And I’m floating in the sky

And I wish you could be

Wish you could be here

And if you’re free, follow me

Throw a pebble in my sea

The sun will wrap you up

In a pool of gold, and lights in the night

Reaching neon waves of sight

But

I wish you could be

Wish you could be

Wish you could be here

The sun, the sand, the sea are waiting

On the corner

Take a trip out here

Hustle, bustle, shove and fuss

Will greet you if you stay there

I’m without a care

Fresh fruit and sea fish

Are in abundance here

But they don’t allow

The natives at your door

Selling booze

Smuggled from another shore

And

I wish you could be

Wish you could be

Wish you could be here

The sun, the sand, the sea are waiting

On the corner

Take a trip out here

Hustle, bustle, shove and fuss

Will greet you if you stay there

I’m without a care

Fresh fruit and sea fish

Are in abundance here

But they don’t allow

The natives at your door

Selling booze

Smuggled from another shore

I wish you could be

Wish you could be

Wish you could be here
