Mighty waves come crashing down
The spray is lashing high into the eagle's eye
Shrieking as it cuts the devil wind
is calling sailors to the deep

But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
Surf is high an' the sea is awash
An' a haze of candy floss, glitter and beads
Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun

That was hot to touch
And the sea was emerald green
I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile

Surf comes rushing up the beach
Now will it reach the castle wall and will it fall
Catfish dappled silver flashing
Dogfish puffing bubbles in my deep

But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile

Surf comes rushing up the beach

Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun
That was hot to the touch
And the sea was an emerald green

But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile

But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile

But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile

But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile
But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile

But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
And I can see you smile
