"Blue Flag" lyrics

Tina Dico Lyrics

"Blue Flag"

They put up a blue flag on the beach where we used to go swimming
When we were kids with buckets and rakes
Looking for gold, amber and snakes in flowery sun hats
For years it was murky and unsafe there when city winds were blowing
But now the flag flying over these sands means that it's safe to go back

Won't you come with me for a swim tonight
Let our bodies sink in in the silvery moonlight
And maybe when our feet touch the bottom
We'll remember something we'd long forgotten
That we must be doing something right
Come on, let's go for a swim tonight

The castles we built along the shore, raised with innocence and wonder
Jumping the waves, freckles and fun
Soon washed away, our fortresses gone before we knew
Over the years the ebbs and flows have dragged many treasures under
But in the footprints fading quickly where we walk there is still you

Won't you come with me for a swim tonight
Let our bodies sink in in the silvery moonlight
And maybe when our feet touch the bottom
We'll remember something we'd long forgotten
That we must be doing something right
Come on, let's go for a swim tonight

Won't you come with me for a swim tonight
Let our bodies sink in in the silvery moonlight
And maybe when our feet touch the bottom
We'll remember something we'd long forgotten
That we must be doing something right
Yeah, we must be doing something right
At least we're doing some things right
Come on, let's go for a swim tonight
