Balmoral Sunset

This song has a special place in my heart. I wrote it when I first moved to Sydney, Australia and loved exploring all the different hidden beaches. Then I came across Balmoral Beach and I was utterly gobsmacked at it’s natural beauty. It became a regular place to hang out and our “best way to end the day”. If you’ve never been there, you must go and experience the magic for yourself! – Stevie J

Lyric Video


BALMORAL SUNSET

Stevie J Mayer

Feel the beat of the distant drums
As the street melts in the sun
Traffic jams, instant sweat
Stuck in a tin can
I wanna go home but I gotta get wet
And though it seems I’m stranded
I’m just a few minutes away

From a Balmoral Sunset (ooh ooh)
Whenever I’m feelin’ this way
I need a Balmoral Sunset (ooh ooh)
It’s the best way to end the day

I get out of the car, cross the street
Cut through the park
Head straight for the beach
I call my girl, hi
Make some haste
Lovers are kissin’ people are whistlin’
You don’t wanna miss this
And though it seems like a world away
I know you can make it in time

To the Balmoral Sunset (ooh ooh)
Whenever you’re feelin’ this way
You need a Balmoral Sunset (ooh ooh)
It’s the best way to end the day

The Balmoral Sunset’s on fire
And I’m high on the feeling
Lying here with my girl
Sure is a different world
Our silhouette’s by the sea
And nothin’ is worryin’ me

Got my Balmoral Sunset (ooh ooh)
Whenever I’m feelin’ this way
I need a Balmoral Sunset (ooh ooh)
It’s the best way to end the…
Best way to end the day (woh)

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

Yeah, and though it seems we’re stranded
We’re just a few minutes away

From a Balmoral Sunset (ma ma ma)
Whenever I’m feelin’ this way
I need a Balmoral Sunset (ma ma ma)
The best way to end a day

Is the Balmoral Sunset (ma ma ma)
Whenever you’re feelin’ this way
You need a Balmoral Sunset (don’t you know)
It’s the best way to end the…
Best way to end the day
