Lyrics
Ghost On The Beach
That night I saw you, the night I first touched you
Laid in the surf and kissed the salt off your face
The waves boiling in the heat of a loverÕs embrace
On cool sand by a fire in the open air
Making love almost the moment we met
A soggy Romeo, a soaking wet Juliet
And just the other night, as I walked beside the shoreline
In the misty light, standing underneath the moon
I saw you, building a castle for the tide
Out on the beach
Ghost on the beach
The summer passed with the pounding of a heartbeat
Souls connected, two bodies inspired
The seconds ticking to the rhythm of a burning desire
Yeah, but now the sand is smooth like no woman never walked there
The wind is silent like no man ever spoke
The fires cold in their wholes, just dust and smoke
And just the other night, as I walked beside the shoreline
In the misty light, kneeling underneath the moon
I saw you, drawing a circle in the sand
Out on the beach
Ghost on the beach
The sand is smooth like no woman never walked there
The wind is silent like no man ever spoke
The fires cold in their wholes, just dust and smoke
Yeah, when IÕm all alone, I will go down to the waterline
And cast a thousand stones, as I stand under the moon
And IÕll see you, washed up, some ghost inside a bottle
Out on the beach
Ghost on the beach
