Red Strand - Nik Kershaw

Two souls beside the ocean

At the mercy of its tide

One warm and tender moment

One cold December night

There sat beneath the bright stars

How were we to understand

Our lives would change forever

That night upon Red strand

A stone’s throw away from Galley Head

By and by it came to pass

A song carried us to our bed

Laid on the broken glass

The moon pulled the waters closer

Our defences were unmanned

And we let the waves roll over

That night upon Red Strand

And we rode the great white horses

Bareback towards the shore

We felt the ocean’s forces

Like no one ever had before

And we heard the north wind speaking

For hidden in this magic land

We’d find what we were seeking

That night upon Red Strand

And we rode the great white horses

Bareback towards the shore

We felt the ocean’s forces

Like no one ever had before

No more the one and only

Never more the one man band

How precious is the love we

Found on the golden sand

And I thank the lord above me

For that night upon Red Strand
