House on a Beach

I need a house on a beach Facing out to the deep blue sea I need to put up my feet One day to do nothing else but sleep And it all starts with a house on a beach I can see it in my mind Name is painted on an old driftwood sign Hanging above the screen door in the back That opens up to the porch and the best view I've ever had I need a house on a beach And a beautiful woman next to me A couple of kids in the sand We'll make some castles then make 'em again Feel the tide cover up our feet And it all starts with a house on a beach I can see it in my mind Name is painted on an old driftwood sign Hanging above the screen door in the back That opens up to the porch and the best view you've ever had And it feels just like my dream That always starts with a house on a beach I need a house on a beach Somewhere the arms of this city are never gonna reach Out past the concrete and the street lights Me and the salt on the breeze under the night skies Where I can slow down and listen to my dreams It's the same one I've had every night for weeks It ends with a fever and slips back out of reach But always starts with a house on a beach I need a house on a beach Facing out to the deep blue sea
