As I face the shore, I gaze upon
                A half-buried orange sun 
             That illuminates the horizon
                Time stands frozen here

                Dusk is fast approaching
           The tide is ebbing and flowing
                   Continually crashing
                 Into my welcoming feet

                         Soon to erase
                My footprints in the sand 
              I'm savoring the tranquility 
                  And refreshing zephyr
                         
         I wish I could spend the night here
      I crave these precious, lonely moments 
                    This is where I find 
                     My peace of mind
