[Verse 1]
Down by the seaside, see all the boats go sailing?
Can the people hear what the little fish are saying?

[Chorus 2x]
The people turned away

[Verse 2]
Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racing, racing
There's no time left to pass the time of day

[Chorus 2x]

[Bridge]
So far away [6x]
So far [4x]
So far away [4x]
Do you still do the twist?
Do you find you remember things that well?
I wanna tell you, some go twisting every day
Though sometimes, it's awful hard to tell

[Verse 3]
Out in the country, hear the people singing
Singing about their growing, knowing where they're going
[Chorus 2x]

[Outro]
Sing loud for the sunshine and pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature and she will come back again
