Summer day we're on our way

feeling good together beautiful place

Just me and my friends having fun

enjoying the sun

We are colours we're red and white

as my teenage skin was tanned

You were my father's fifth child

and your look was vintage and wild but now you're stuck in the sand



'cause it only took a couple of minutes

and all the fish had a new home

and I was feeling so alone

as I called my daddy on the phone

- though it only took a couple of days

until I could look into my father's eyes again

i got this feeling of shame in my head

this fact remains: Chris is dead



Well, anyway I was surfing on my board behind the boat

when I heard a big crash and suddenly

rocks and stones appeared from the water

and I was thinking

What are they doing here?

They're not supposed to be here. This can't be real.

And then my sister started screaming

Oh my God we're taking in water I've got water up to my knees

and the she picked up the - and she, she dialed 911

'cause she was in a shock

and I was too, you know

I didn't know what to do



'cause it only took a couple of minutes

and all the fish had a new home

and I was feeling so alone

as I called my daddy on the phone

- though it only took a couple of days

until I could look into my father's eyes again

i got this feeling of shame in my head

this fact remains: Chris is dead



Oh, Chris is dead



But look, you've got a new song

Yeah, but Chris is dead

But hey, you've got this new song

And the song, it wouldn't been made up

if I wouldn't have sinked that boat in the ocean

so when everything comes around I guess things are fine

I tell you, things are fine

yeah, things are fine
