The Seabirds Cry
Tune: Don’t Let Him Steal Your Heart Away (Phil Collins)
The seabirds cry and the tide rushes in
The beach comes alive and another summer begins
Surrounded by an ocean of time
Tapawingo sits like an island in my mind
Don’t let your island fade away
The grains of sand each one unique
Blending together to form a family
carried by waves of time
To a home that we have never left behind
Don’t let your island fade away
Oh Tapawingo (there you are) there you are
(Right where) right where you’ve always been from the start
Such a special place
When I get troubles (ease my mind) I can see
The shimmer of each grain will reflect on me
My summer island will always be a part of me
A storm may rise and the seas get rough
The horizon dims and we think that we’ve had enough
But always in the back of our minds we remember the friendships
And all our happy times
Don’t let your island fade away
The shoreline fades as the tide slips away
we drift from the beach we go our seperate ways
Our summer will stay with us even when we're apart
And those magical memories will always be in our hearts
Don’t let your island fade away
Oh Tapawingo (there you are) there you are
(Right where) right where you’ve always been from the start
Such a special place
When I get troubles (ease my mind) I can see
The shimmer of each grain will reflect on me
My summer island will always be a part of me
The birds take flight for a wintery shore
Until next year when they turn back once more
Like the birds that are drawn back home
We’ll return to the place that we have always known
Our island will never fade away
The beach comes alive and another summer begins
Surrounded by an ocean of time
Tapawingo sits like an island in my mind
Don’t let your island fade away
The grains of sand each one unique
Blending together to form a family
carried by waves of time
To a home that we have never left behind
Don’t let your island fade away
Oh Tapawingo (there you are) there you are
(Right where) right where you’ve always been from the start
Such a special place
When I get troubles (ease my mind) I can see
The shimmer of each grain will reflect on me
My summer island will always be a part of me
A storm may rise and the seas get rough
The horizon dims and we think that we’ve had enough
But always in the back of our minds we remember the friendships
And all our happy times
Don’t let your island fade away
The shoreline fades as the tide slips away
we drift from the beach we go our seperate ways
Our summer will stay with us even when we're apart
And those magical memories will always be in our hearts
Don’t let your island fade away
Oh Tapawingo (there you are) there you are
(Right where) right where you’ve always been from the start
Such a special place
When I get troubles (ease my mind) I can see
The shimmer of each grain will reflect on me
My summer island will always be a part of me
The birds take flight for a wintery shore
Until next year when they turn back once more
Like the birds that are drawn back home
We’ll return to the place that we have always known
Our island will never fade away
