Where is that Austrian girl

from my childhood beach?

Has she emigrated?

Is she out of reach?

We were the happy kids

in the blazing Sun

I didn't pay attention

to the loaded gun

Where are those sunny Summers

that we used to get?

I cherished every beach day

when our parents met

It meant a lot to me

and I won't forget

waves from a distant shore

That washed away the threat
