Elijah John McBride - By The Beach

Oh to sit by the beach
And daydream sweet dreams
How lovely that seems
To a drifted man like me
Oh to sit by the beach
Let the world slip away from me
While crashing waves repeat and repeat
As though everything's how it ought to be

Ooh woah

No shirt for my back
And I've got no shoes for me feet
I've lost all I could think to need
And the sun ain't quite beatin down on me
But I'm the richest to have ever breathed
A hundred years on the high seas
But it was time for my babe to sink
Her winded sails needed a drink

Oh woah

O to sit by the beach
And fall into a slumberous sleep
How lovely that seems
To a castaway like me
Oh to sit by the beach
Let the world slip away from me
Let the waves go on with or without me
I'll let crystal blue be the last thing that I see
