The Hollies

Postcard

(Allan Clarke/Tony Hicks/Graham Nash)

Track 7 on album 'Butterfly' october 1967



When sand's close at hand

and the sea is touching me,

I feel much happier

than I've ever felt. and a long time goes by

and I'm floating in the sky.

And I wish you could be,

wish you could be here.



And if you're free, follow me

throw a pebble in my sea.

The sun will wrap you up

in a pool of gold, and lights in the night

in the night reaching neon waves of sight.



But

I wish you could be,

wish you could be,

wish you could be here.



The sun, the sand, the sea are waiting

on the corner. Take a trip out here.

Hustle, bustle, shove and fuss

will greet you if you stay there.

I'm without a care.



Fresh fruit and sea fish,

are in abundance here.

But they don't allow

the natives at your door

selling booze

smuggled from another shore.



And
