Chapel Porth Beach

It's the perfect setting, a beautiful day

His hand in hers and they're making their way

Across Chapel Porth Beach and the Atlantic Tide

His hand on her belly, new life inside

The light's a cathedral, there's no one around

There's talk of the future and names to be found

As she sleeps in his arms to the oceans swell

You can walk out in heaven and end up in hell

Sometimes we fold and the answer comes

When all hope is gone Somehow it arrives

The sea isn't ours

She's a thief and a friend

You can start to live

Once you've seen an end

So his mind snaps back like something just died

Hey babe, wake up, we gotta beat this time

They're trapped in a headland corner

Where Mother Nature don't give a damn

He knows they're in trouble

They left the phone in the van

It's all happened so quickly

The moon's gravity

Now he's holding her up

By her Mothercare dungarees

He's fought every wave

And done all that he can

And the water's so high now He can barely stand

Her face in his hands and they say their goodbyes

There are no words now, just the love across their eyes

And the stone cold fear at the end of your world

For a second she wonders, was it a boy or a girl

Sometimes we fold and the answer comes

When all hope is gone, somehow it arrives

The sea isn't ours

She's a thief and a friend

But you can start to live

Once you've seen an end

Some say there's angels in heaven

But we need them down here Some days they ride surfboards

Then disappear

Not before they make phone calls

When they've seen us wave

Then set out to save us, selfless and brave

It's the perfect setting, a beautiful day

His hand on hers with vows to say

Chapel Porth Beach and the Atlantic sea

Could have taken two lines

But a lifeboat gave back three
