Story Behind the Song
A simple bet, a little sand and a song was born.
Lyrics
The middle of October found me by the sea, watching a seagull watching me,
My feet on the ground, my mind in the clouds, untamed melodies and unrehearsed sounds,
And scattered pieces of you and me coming together, easily.
Watching you watching me watching seagulls fly,
Watching you watching me watching waves roll by.
The middle of October we felt so free, dreaming of castles, surrounded by trees,
Far from the city we know too well, hours spent working with big words to spell,
Where the days end before they barely begin, and gratitude is like a long lost friend.
And I was
Watching you watching me watching seagulls fly,
Watching you watching me watching waves roll by.
The middle of October got you all wet, isn’t it true how soon we forget
How loud a seagull can cry to her kin, how warm the sun feels against your skin,
How to laugh and to play, how to hear the world say…..stay.
When my troubles get me down, back in this busy town,
I’ll put my worries high on the shelf, and dare to remind myself
of the middle of October by the sea, where I loved you and you loved me,
My watercolors in the sand, that crazy kite string in your hand,
And scattered pieces of you and me coming together, so easily,
Watching you watching me watching seagulls,
Watching you watching me watching waves roll,
Watching you watching me watching seasons,
Watching you watching me watching children,
Watching you watching me and our lives go by.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
