Seaside Sunset




Seaside Sunset
by Richard Lawry

I want to walk on sand
Across those miles of beach
I need to know for myself
How far the sand can reach
And when I've walked forever
I'll be on the beach
For a seaside sunset

On the Oregon coast
Breakers hit the sand
Steady heartbeat of the sea
Where it meets the land
Colors stretch before my eyes
Where I'm meant to stand
In a seaside sunset

On the Oregon coast
As daylight fades away
Waves are crashing
They've got something to say
To the seaside sunset
The seaside sunset

The colors come alive
And I think of you
At the end of these hours
There's nothing I'd undo
Stretching out forever
Everything is new
It's a seaside sunset

On the Oregon coast
As daylight fades away
Waves are crashing
They've got something to say
To the seaside sunset
The seaside sunset

Waves crashing
Time standing still
Silhouettes on a silent hill
Tide flows out like a mirror wet
Reflections of the seaside sunset
I love the seaside sunset

A seaside sunset
