[Verse 1]
The summertime fast becomes a fading memory
Till the winter snows will cover all the land
No more beach sight fairground rights
Or picnics by the water sight
No more ice creams melting in your hand

[Chorus]
So here I stand
Solitary figure of a lonely man
Amongst the broken cuckold shells
Cuckold fish and seaweed strands
Left alone to wander winter sands

[Verse 2]
The brightly painted beach huts now
They've all been closed
And the deck chairs, oh, put into store
The swallows and the wild geese
Wеll they have taken flight
To conquеr all those distant foreign shores

[Chorus]
So here I stand
A solitary figure of a lonely man
Amongst the broken cuckold shells
Cuckold fish and seaweed strands
Left alone to wander winter sands
[Verse 3]
On winter sands, I'll find my way
On winter sands, my thoughts will stray
The coatsy air will take your breath away
On winter sands

[Outro]
And looking back on better times
When you would put your hand on mine
You gave your heart and I gave mine
Long ago, on winter sands
