One hour in the sand and the weather is rolling in
Odd day out in the sun is growing thin
But a the dolphin in the breakers
No, a porpoise, by mistake
“Don’t worry son, that’s the only one liable to make”
The beach is all but scattered, and the sky has all turned gray
But the rain that breaks the surface makes a swimmer want to stay

The porpoises, the porpoises will play

The castle’s only half built
The battle has not begun
Lay down your arms
Mother Nature has won
“Can we jump into the ocean?”
“No son, not today.
We’ll come again tomorrow let the porpoise have their play\"

The porpoises, the porpoises, the porpoises will play

Olly! Olly! In come free!
No one here but you and me
And a school of porpoises jumping in a rainy sea
And a camera was forgotten just like every holiday
Oh well, I know that magic spells don’t last long anyway

The porpoises, the porpoises, the porpoises will play

One hour in the sand and the weather is rolling in
Odd day out in the sun is growing dim
Looking out as I listen to the whisper on the sand
I can’t translate this feeling, but I think you understand
The rain is getting harder, now I think we’d better go
Our battle plans etched in the sand are starting to erode
Let’s run inside and listen as the rainfall melts the day
Let’s sink down and hide and leave the tide to the porpoises at play

The rain is getting harder now I wish we could stay
Let’s sink down and hide and leave the tide to the porpoises at play
