Boxing Day Lyrics

On a glorious morning, on a perfect beach

At the start of another gorgeous day

The sparkling sand and the glittering sea

Paradise doesn't seem so far away

Behind the brochures, people live and work

They fish and farm and pray

On that morning, the patterns were the same

No hint of the terror on the way

What the sea provides, the sea takes away

We'll remember them still, on Boxing Day

Below the thunders of the upper deep;

Far far beneath the abysmal sea

From ancient, dreamless, un-invaded sleep

The creature stirs and awakes

What the sea provides, the sea takes away

We'll remember them still, on Boxing Day

What the sea provides, the sea takes away

We'll remember them still, on Boxing Day

What the sea provides, the sea takes away

We'll remember them still, on Boxing Day

Then once by mortals and angels to be seen

In roaring it shall rise and on the surface die
