“We close the album at an empty shore with a shell to our ears. It's the quietest we'd ever been, and we loved it.”

Lyrics

Empty shore in the morning light
Pastel huts with their shutters closed
Found a shell by the water's edge
Pink and pearly, cold as a rose
Hold it up to my ear and hear
Waves are whispering secrets to me
Summer's saying see you soon
Ring, ring, ring, can you hear me

Hello, hello
Tell me what you know
Hello, hello
Let the ocean show

Seashell telephone, call the sea
Seashell telephone, ring for me
Waves on the line, hey hey
Sing the summer back today
Seashell telephone, ring ring ring
Hear the whole wide ocean sing
Out of season, still in tune
Dancing underneath the moon, no, the sun

Gulls are gossiping on the pier
Carousel is sleeping in the sand
Kicking pebbles along the front
Every footprint a little band
Friends are laughing and spinning around
Shells in pockets, shells in hair
Out of season is just a word
When the shore is ours to share

Hello, hello
Tell me what you know
Hello, hello
Let the ocean show

Seashell telephone, call the sea
Seashell telephone, ring for me
Waves on the line, hey hey
Sing the summer back today
Seashell telephone, ring ring ring
Hear the whole wide ocean sing
Out of season, still in tune
Dancing underneath the moon, no, the sun

Whisper a wish into the shell
Let it roll out on the tide
The sea will carry it far away
And bring it back with pride

Seashell telephone, call the sea
Seashell telephone, ring for me
Waves on the line, hey hey
Sing the summer back today
Seashell telephone, ring ring ring
Hear the whole wide ocean sing
Out of season, still in tune
Dancing underneath the sun

Hello, hello
Seashell telephone
