They are standing still
April 2026
Inspired by the tune of Our Lips Are Sealed by the Go-Go’s
Can you see them?
Out on the beach
Facing west;
With every sunset
Can you see them?
See right through them
I have no clue,
what is in the blue?
Does it matter why they stay?
Are they watchin’ seagulls chasin’ prey?
Hey, hey, hey
They’re standing still
There are seagulls
Flying above
Soarin’ and dive
Chasing clouds
When you walk by
Every day by the bay
That’s when they reappear
That’s when you’ll see them here
Does it matter why they stay?
Are they counting boats in the bay?
Hey, hey, hey
They’re standing still
Come what may, rain or chill
It’s all looking quite surreal
Eeeal
They’re standing still
Clouds, are floating;
Seagulls cry
Sun departing;
Waves lullaby
Can you see them?
Out on the beach
Facing west;
With every sunset
Can you see them?
See right through them
I have no clue,
what is in the view?
Waiting for a ship to land
Shootin’ reels for a new rock band
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Can be seen from near and far
It’s becoming quite bizarre
aaaaaarrrr
They’re standing still
Every day, by the bay
They’re standing still
~ Bonus stanza ~
It doesn’t matter why they stay
Looking for a glimpse of fin and shot of spray
Hey hey hey
Whales in the Bay
