Holidays Begun - Holidays are always the best time of the year.

Escape the grey cage of winter and the daily grind. This song is a sun-drenched daydream of summer holidays, capturing the anticipation of a beach trip and the joy of finally feeling the sand between your toes. From the frantic dash into the ocean to the peaceful end of a golden day, it’s an anthem for anyone counting down the miles to their next escape.

Lyrics (c) Marc Glasby

The winter is a cage of grey, the cold is sharp and mean,
The rain is almost constant and sunny days are lean.
But in my mind I'm dreaming of the days of summer sun,
and holidays down by the beach and winter on the run.

Some time away from hum drum work, the deadline's evil curse
chained to work in winter's grip, there could be nothing worse.
I dream of time on holiday, beneath a clear blue sky
of golden days and sunlit shores but winter just drags by...
and then at last the time is near, to head out in the sun
the time I've waited for all year, with holidays begun

I feel the breeze, the salty air, the road to places new,
the holidays of yesterday all crowd around me too.
Sunscreen, sand and ice cream cones, the sweet cool summer taste
The tidal pools along the beach, my special sacred place

Some time away from hum drum work, the deadline's evil curse
chained to work in winter's grip, there could be nothing worse.
I dream of time on holiday, beneath a clear blue sky
of golden days and sunlit shores but winter just drags by
and then at last the time is near, to head out in the sun
the time I've waited for all year, with holidays begun

A blur of green, a flash of blue, the final bend is turned,
And there's the sparkling deep blue sea for which my spirit yearned.
Bags are dropped and shoes kicked off, a frantic headlong dash
a plunge into the ocean's foam, life changes in a flash

Then fishing from a splintered pier, just hoping for a catch,
and at day's end, we sit and rest, plans for tomorrow hatch.
The days pass quickly, one by one, this freedom feels so good
You'd live this way the whole year long, if you only could.

Some time away from hum drum work, the deadline's evil curse
chained to work in winter's grip, there could be nothing worse.
I dream of time on holiday, beneath a clear blue sky
of golden days and sunlit shores but winter just drags by
and then at last the time is near, to head out in the sun
the time I've waited for all year, with holidays begun

Remembering the summers past, the times away so sweet,
those carefree days of summer fun, the childhood's sunburned feet.
The feelings of a time of joy, the fun, the hope, the thrill,
will live forever in my mind, I feel the good times still.

Some time away from hum drum work, the deadline's evil curse
chained to work in winter's grip, there could be nothing worse.
I dream of time on holiday, beneath a clear blue sky
of golden days and sunlit shores but winter just drags by
and then at last the time is near, to head out in the sun
the time I've waited for all year, with holidays begun

The car is packed... the tank is full...
The map is on the seat...
That morning rush, you feel the pull...
the pulsing summer heat...
Of what's to come... the key's in hand...
A deep and grinning smile...
This small escape across the land...
you're counting up the miles...
oh counting up the miles...
you're counting up the miles...
