Sandy Beaches

The first rays are rising on his sun Heating up my back as the day is done As I lie on LA's sandy beaches Nothing to do but watch the ships go by No place to call home, no one to call my own The rhythm of the waves, it makes me feel alive I am a lonely man, overwhelmed with scars Back from the war that we never won I am a lonely man, give me something to live for My heart beats to the rhythm of the waves I have no house to warm me, no place to call my own No kin to embrace at the end of the day In this world, I'm a lonely man No place to call my own In this world, I am alone With horrors and nightmares Of the things I saw that I can't forget No place to call home, no one to call my own The rhythm of the waves, it makes me feel alive I am a lonely man, overwhelmed with scars Back from the war that we never won I am a lonely man, give me something to live for My heart beats to the rhythm of the waves Stained, stained red with blood It's all I've ever known It's where I left my life behind Sound of the waves, they eat my murderous soul For the illusion that we're fighting for Democracy I am a lonely man, overwhelmed with scars Back from the war that we never won I am a lonely man, give me something to live for My heart beats to the rhythm of the waves
