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 lover's 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, kneeling underneath the moon
I saw you, building a castle for the tide
Out on the beach
Ghost on the beach
Yeah, yeah

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 holes, just dust and smoke

And just the other night, as I walked beside the shoreline
In the misty light, standing underneath the moon
I saw you, drawing a circle in the sand
Out on the beach
Ghost on the beach
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whoa - oh, whoa - oh, whoa - oh, whoa

The sand is smooth like no woman ever walked there
The wind is silent like no man ever spoke
The fires cold in their holes, just dust and smoke
Whoa - oh, whoa - oh, whoa

Yeah, when I'm all alone, I will go down to the waterline
And cast a thousand stones, as I stand under the moon
And I'll see you, washed up, some ghost inside a bottle
Out on the beach
Ghost on the beach now
Out on the beach
Ghost on the beach
Yeah, yeah, yeah
