Soiled Beach
When the sun came up this morning
And I raised my weary head
I didn’t see her lying next to me
And I realized our love was dead
The summer breeze drifted away
The seagulls said goodbye
It was an empty beach that day
Our love was never justified
When the moon came up this evening
I was there all by myself
She was probably already at home
Putting another mans picture on her shelf
The winter called my name silently
I stood alone watching the tide
The wind was cold, just like her heart
For I have lost my bride
We’ve had no rain
In several weeks
Anyone could have seen the tears
Running down my cheeks
And I left a puddle
On the soiled beach…
When the sun came up this morning

When the moon came up this evening

She was probably already at home

The winter called my name silently
I stood alone watching the tide

For I have lost my bride
We’ve had no rain

Anyone could have seen the tears
Running down my cheeks
And I left a puddle
On the soiled beach…
