I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky

You were there in the winter,

moonlight on the snow

And on Lily Pond Lane

when the weather was warm

Now the beach is deserted

And a piece of an old ship

that lies on the shore
You always responded

when I needed your help

You gave me a map and a key to your door
