Evening Tide

On a bench on the boardwalk with my daughter by my side Virginia Beach at night, approaching evening tide My son was playing in the sand, a shovel and a pail My wife was looking out to sea, leaning on the rail A warm night in July, not a lot to say Lights on the fishing boats twinkling in the bay College kids playing Frisbee, laughing and having fun Going to sit here on this bench until I see the morning sun But the kids are getting tired,. Time to take them by the hand Make our way back to the hotel, walking in the sand Tomorrow we'll be at Chesapeake Bay on a fishing boat ride Then at night we will return to watch the evening tide.
