Topic: Beach, Please (song I wrote )
It was a snow day here today so not much to do but stay inside - so I picked up my Taylor and started playing around. I was thinking about my favorite place - Topsail Beach, North Carolina... and the phrase " Beach, Please" pop in my head and it made me laugh. Well as you can tell by the title that I decided I was going to write a humorous song about a boy/girl relation using the title's play on words. 
However as I got to writing it somehow morphed into a sadder version, but still had that little element of word humor in a sad love relationship. Let me know what you think
I'm sure it needs some work yet but here it is....
Beach, Please By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[G] We sat in silence, but our [C]glances were [G] loud,
[Em] crying under an azure [D] sky painted with [C] clouds.
[G] I reached out to hold him, [C] but he pulled a[G]way,
I knew [D] there were words he[C] didn’t know how to [G] say
.
So I asked him…
.
Pre-Chorus
.
Is there [C] someplace that you’d rather [G] go ?
Is there a [C] place that we can put your mind at [G] ease ?
Then he[C] told me exactly where he wanted to [G] go
A [D] place where he used to [C] follow all his [G] dreams
.
Chorus
He looked at me and said……
.
[Em] Beach, please … because every time I [C] reach for your [G] hand,
[Em] Beach, please...‘cause You slip away just [C] like the shifting [G] sand.
[Em] Beach, please….’cause like the [C] tide, you come and [G] go
[D]Beach, please… ‘cause you leave me drowning in [C]what I’ll never [G] know.
.
Verse 2
.
[G]He finally said, "Love’s just [C] like the ocean’s [G] breeze,
[Em]It comes and goes, then[D] vanishes into the [D] trees."
[G] He said, some things are just [C] meant to drift a[G]way
And I [D] was searching for the words[C] that could make him [G] stay
.
So I asked him…
.
Pre-Chorus
.
Is there [C] someplace that you’d rather [G] go ?
Is there a [C] place that we can put your mind at [G] ease ?
Then he[C] told me exactly where he wanted to [G] go
A [D] place where he used to [C] follow all his [G] dreams
.
Chorus
.
He looked at me and said……
.
[Em]Beach, please … because every time I [C] reach for your [G] hand,
[Em]beach, please... ‘cause You slip away just [C] like the shifting [G] sand.
[Em] Beach, please….’cause like the [C] tide, you come and [G] go
[D] Beach, please… ‘cause you leave me drowning in [C] what I’ll never [G] know.
.
Verse 3
.
[G] He said I was like those ships [C] sailing out on the [G] sea
[Em] That there was no harbor that [D] ever could anchor[C] me
[G] His eyes had a cold stare [C] as he gazed from the [G] shore
And I [D] wondered if we can [D] find that place we were [G] before
So I asked him…
Pre-Chorus
.
Is there [C] someplace that you’d rather [G] go ?
Is there a [C] place that we can put your mind at [G] ease ?
Then he[C] told me exactly where he wanted to [G] go
A [D] place where he used to [C] follow all his [G] dreams
Chorus
.
He looked at me and said……
[Em]Beach, please … because every time I [C] reach for your [G] hand,
[Em]Beach, please...‘cause You slipaway just [C] like the shifting [G] sand.
[Em]Beach ,Please….’cause like the [C] tide, you come and [G]go
[D]Beach, please… ‘cause you leave me drowning in [C] what I’ll never [G] know.
The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it. - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
