The Last Sunrays In June

One last drive past the regent
On their way back into town
Ice cream, yellow top is melting
Mourns the pier they knocked down
Gone were the dances
The pies served up with peas
And the Coatham, it's still standing
But now aged by the sea
Final tango around the pier
A brass band takes the stand
It's still ringing in her ears
As she held onto Harry's hand
Last sunrays
Last sunrays in June
Last sunrays
Last sunrays in June
She sang like an angel
On the pier she danced to their tune
Remember memories if you're able
Before they fade away too soon
When the angels heard her singing
Carried her voice across the dunes
Made us happy and so grateful
We saw the last sunrays in June
(The last sunrays in June)

There's a lifeboat still waiting
For the call back to the sea
It's all lit up by the night glow
Of steel making industry
Sail the boat that dad built
She's no longer sea worthy
Watched her debris float away
Like some distant memory
The turbines kept on turning
As her final breath has passed
Reunited with her first love
Vows she made were meant to last
Last sunrays
Last sunrays in June
Last sunrays
Last sunrays in June
She sang like an angel
On the pier she danced to their tune
Remember memories if you're able
Before they fade away too soon
When the angels heard her singing
Carried her voice across the dunes
Made us happy and so grateful
We saw the last sunrays in June
(The last sunrays in June)

She could waltz on forever
Reunited with the band
Now the tears she cries are happy
Her true love close at hand
The sunset on the horizon
The warm glow leaves the sand
Skyline long since cleared
Left behind were life's demands
So sad she didn't know herself
So he lovingly intervened
All her books back upon the shelf
End the story as she'd always dreamed
She sang like an angel
On the pier she danced to their tune
Remember memories if you're able
Before they fade away too soon
When the angels heard her singing
Carried her voice across the dunes
Made us happy and so grateful
We saw the last sunrays in June
