Intro

Verse1:

When the half light makes for a clearer view

Sleep a little more if you want to

But restlessness has seized me now, it’s true

I could watch the dreams flicker in your eyes

Lying here asleep on a sunbeam

I wonder if you realise you fascinate me so

[Solo] Verse chords over this x 1

Verse 2: (chords as verse 1 except the last line)

Think about a new destination

If you think you need inspiration

Roll out the map and mark it with a pin

I will follow every direction

Just lace up your shoes while I’m fetching a sleeping bag, a tent...

Chorus:

Another summer’s passing by

All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet

A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands

My joy will be complete

[Intro chords] x 2

[solo over verse chords] x 1

Verse 3: [As verses above]

I thought about a new destination

I’m never short of new inspiration

Roll out the map and mark it with a gin

Made my plans to conquer the country

I’m waiting for you to get out of your situation

With your job and with your life

All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet

A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands

My joy will be complete

Another summer’s passing by

All I need is somewhere I feel the grass beneath my feet

A walk on sand, a fire I can warm my hands

My joy will be complete

[Intro to end]
