The Beach

-ukinarij, 2006

Down by the beach

                                   Where you and I stood

The sun was high

And the sky was blue

Clouds drifted by

And the seabirds flew

Down by the beach

                                   Where you and I stayed

The waves were crashing

Over the powdery sand

The wind was blowing

From a far-off land

Down by the beach

                                  Where you and I talked

The sea was shimmering

From the radiant heat

The trees were swaying

To an unknown beat

You looked at the sea

Then smiled at me

My heart was pounding

And I felt like fainting

Down by the beach

                                 Where you and I stood

Then our time was up

Though I wish it stopped

Cause I’ve never felt more alone

As we returned home

Away from the beach

                           Where you and I stood
