2 songs that immediately take me back to summer nights down at the beach. The heady perfume of jasmin, lilac and magnolia mingling with the tangy scent of the sea wafting across the sand .... watching the sky go red as the sun drops down to the ocean. Us girls, walking in the tide line, the edge of lazy waves swirling around and tickling our bare feet.... laughing and telling fantasies of rock stars and wild dreams about our futures.
Choose Life tshirts, denim skirts and neon bangles .
Summers of our youth. A youth that were prolly the last generation to feel that free to play in the sunset.

By the river side
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide
