Creature in the Sea

I wish I could play good ol’ surf guitar
Like Dick Dale and Link Wray and his Wray Men
I’d sing songs about the sea
And what purpose a porpoise has to me
I’d sing from the shore to the ocean floor
And boogie on the boardwalk at night
At Half Moon Bay I’d take a ride
Down “The 1” to Encinitas for high tide
It seems to me just out of reach
A mighty dorsal fin at Swami’s Beach
I wish to see that dorsal fin again
I’ll sit and practice surf guitar until my fingers bleed
Oh how I need, inspiration
From that creature in the sea

Smirk of the Dolphin

I am laughing now at your strange, smiling face
Who’s to know you’re the love of mine
Who’s to know that you’ll carry my falling hand
Open ocean all is not forgiving
Resting tides underneath my head
Careless in the sand with broken shells
Walking through neither alive or dead
On the coast of every early morning
Sunrise innocence no more
Complicated footsteps in the sand
Feeling forever to the shore
There’s a smirk on the dolphin I cannot trust anymore
Only the ocean knows what we’re looking for
Velvet water in-between our living
Rusted colored shadows
Statues of a tragic time rest on the sea floor

Bottlenose Shadow

I knew it was you
From your bottlenose shadow on the moon
Oh what a night
For a nice aquatic ride
The lunar landscape up above
I see the colors on your skin
Reflect the salty shore
And toss my cares into the wind
I go back and forth from knowing this is wrong
Echoes of a tiny window
What will the land think, what will the ocean do
What other act is there to follow?
When your bottlenose shadow gives us away
And only gravity can pull us down
You wear that smirk so well, I can never tell
When you’re laughing when you’re not
If only the days gave us time, enough so I could find
The truth behind our love

Beach of my Dreams

Thank you for an invitation to the beach of my dreams
I hope that you can understand how much it means
Every now and then I lost at low tide
Once I found a seashell in the shape of our love
I put it back in the sand just to find it again
Secrets are better buried safe
The deeper you dig, the heavier the sand
The beach of my dreams, is much more than land
It unties any shackles I have to the shore
And lets me live and love forever more
I’ll walk with you, you swim with me, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be
You walk with me, I’ll swim with you, there’s nothing else I’d rather do
We don’t need any words to communicate
Only will our fossils reveal our fate
Secrets are better buried safe
The deeper you dig, the heavier the sand
The beach of my dreams, is much more than land
It unties any shackles I have to the shore
And lets me live and love forever more

Ohio was never meant for me.
I’ve been ocean bound since I was three.
I’m never going back to a land locked life.
I’m never going back to Ohio.
I’m never going back to…

My love for you
now distant in-between
I should have never let you go
Now the ocean feels empty to me
Cause you’re living in some artificial sea
I can’t feel anything anymore for anyone
That compares to the times that we had under the sun
Because the love between a man and a dolphin
is more than just a moment long
When I saw you for the first time I couldn’t even play guitar
Now I’m writing surf songs and playing all the popular bars
You were so much more than just a muse
You taught me how to love without being confused
Because the love between a man and a dolphin
is more than just a moment long
My love for you now distant in-between
I should have never let you go
Now what I’ve heard breaks my heart in two
I’ll keep my half and the other goes to you
I suppose I know, with you I was never there
So you never came up for air
