"Beaches"


Kanyakumari, India 1st November 1997

I just went there to see sunrise.
It was the only thing that I wanted to.
I didn't know why, but I was feeling I had to do.
I thought I could find something what I have been
searching for, for a long time.
I was at the beach of Mahabalipuram
in the end of October.

I just went there to see sunrise and sunset.
Those were the special things that I wanted to do.
I could see the sunrise ans sunset at the same place.
I thought I could get something what I have been
wondering endlessly.
I was at the seashore of Kanyakumari
in the beginning of November.

The sky was blue. The ocean was blue.
Both of them were so huge and so great.
The sky was clear. The ocean was clear.
Both of them seemed so endless and so helpless.
That's why all I could get there was just a
handful of the sand.

I just came here to see sunset.
It was the only thing that I longed to do.
All I can hear is the sound of waves
that makes me scared.
I thought I could leave something here
that I've been keeping all my life.
I am at the beach of Goa in the end of November.

The sky is blue. The ocean is blue.
Both of them are so endless and so helpless.
The sky is beautiful. The ocean is beautiful.
Both of them are so huge and so great.
That's why all I can leave here
is only my foot prints.

Every morning, the colour of the sky turns
black to red, yellow then blue.
Every evening, the colour of the sky turns
blue to yellow, red then black.
Everytime I see the colour of the oceans,
they remind me of my younger days.
Everytime I walk along the beaches,
they remind me of my happy days.
Anyway it seems I can't find, get and leave
anything at these beaches.
Someday, I hope I can learn how to find,
get and leave something at some beaches.
Today, I've noticed what I have tried to find,
get and leave at these beaches.

I don't care anymore searching for
something what doesn't exist.
I don't care anymore wondering for
something what doesn't exist.
I don't care anymore keeping
something what doesn't exist.
These things are just my pasts and future,
but not present..

The sky is blue and the ocean is blue.
Both of them are so huge and so great.
And the waves will never be an end.
And the waves will never be the same.
They are coming from
Bengal Bay, the Indian Ocean and the Arabic Sea...

Kanyakumari is kindof south tip of India
and people come and see
the sunrise and sunset here. Even just for a sunrise,
there are so many people come this place to
catch the sunrise. It's a holy place.
I can not forget but I don't know why but
there were so many goats on the way to the
sunrise view points.
