lyrics

I was searching for something on the shore
A simple answer, or a clue to tell me what I ought to do

Salty spray flew high beating rhythms on the sky
I walked alone, alone, alone inside my daydream, in my zone.

Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk
Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk

In the gritty world the oyster builds a pearl
Down down inside it's scaly shell, perfection hidden very well

Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk
Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk

The pearl is the calm in the midst of madness, the pearl is a secret I've yet to know
A prize for the eyes of a seaside searcher, the shine of a pearls is a magic glow on a

Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk
Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk

I don't really mind if I never find
The object of my fantasy, it really doesn't bother me.

Every day's the same when you're feeling pain
And searching makes my life complete, just me, the sea and my two feet.

Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk
Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk
Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk
Beachwalk, I'm going on a beachwalk
