The Coastal Road

I

The Coastal Road

The road winds round the cliffs
Hugging them to its'side
Like a ribbon in the breeze

Oh what a lovely ride.

I will never ever tire

Of the wondrous sight

The brilliance of the daytime

The beauty of the night.

For as the sun goes gently down

The blue of the sea turns grey,

The sky is painted pink and gold

A perfect end to the day.

Lights come on along the shore

Showing you the way

Calling you to stop awhile

In a little bay.

The little beach bar comes to life

The waiter brings some wine

Tells you he has caught some fish

And would you care to dine?

Stars appear and light the sky

The waves splash on the shore

All my senses on red alert

I could not ask for more.

I store these feelings in my heart

With love to you and me

Join me now and raise your glass

To the magic of the sea.

There's the rhythm of the waves

The scent of the salted spray

The feel of the sand between your toes

The warmth of the end of day.
