As I sit here watching the waves crashing on the shore,
I think back to a time when things were simple and so much more.
With the waves crashing on the shore, I look out at the open bay,
I see where the water and the sky meets, and I just want to stay.
I want to stay right here on the watery sands, right here on the beach,
Where I can watch the sunset, and watch the sailboats so out of reach.
With the waves crashing on the shore, I wait for the stars to come out,
So I can stare at them, have my peace and have no doubt.
My doubts about life would just crash with the waves,
And then go back out into the waters of the open bays.
I just want my serenity back and I feel it here with the ocean smell,
I feel like I have it with the stars above my head, with nothing more to tell.
