As I reach for a peach, slide a rind down behind
00:04
The sofa in San Tropez
00:09
Breakin' a stick with a brick on the sand
00:15
Ridin' a wave in the wake of an old sedan
00:19
Sleepin' alone in the drone of the darkness
00:27
Scratched by the sand that fell from my love
00:31
Deep in my dreams and I still hear her callin'
00:35
"If you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home"
00:40
Backward and home bound, the pigeon, the dove
00:44
Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane
00:48
Born in a home with no silver spoon
00:51
I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon
00:55
Sooner than wait for a break in the weather
00:59
I'll gather my far-flung thoughts together
01:03
Speeding away on the wind to a new day
01:07
If you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home
01:11
01:16
And I pause for a while by a country stile
01:46
And listen to the things they say
01:50
Diggin' for gold in a hold in my hand
01:56
Open a book, take a look at the way things stand
02:00
And you're leading me down to the place by the sea
02:08
I hear your soft voice calling to me
02:12
Making a date for later by phone
02:16
And if you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home
02:20
02:23
Lyrics & Translation
Dive into the laid-back charm of Pink Floyd's "San Tropez," a uniquely light and jazzy track that offers a refreshing contrast to their more epic progressive rock. This song, with its clear, narrative-driven lyrics about a leisurely day and longing for connection, is perfect for English language learners. Its straightforward vocabulary and clear articulation provide an accessible entry point to understanding English in a musical context, allowing listeners to grasp idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms while enjoying its distinct, mellow vibe.

As I reach for a peach, slide a rind down behindThe sofa in San Tropez
Breakin' a stick with a brick on the sand
Ridin' a wave in the wake of an old sedan
Sleepin' alone in the drone of the darkness

Deep in my dreams and I still hear her callin'
"If you're alone, I'll come ho-ho-home"
