Steve Forbert - On The Beach lyrics

Doll babe, I'm so alone tonight Ain't certain if I'm wrong or right Ain't certain if it's all worthwhile Lord babe, if I could see your smile. I'm standing on the shoreline looking at the raging sea Well, it's ugly, dark and cold and I'm feeling like it's inside of me Thinking that by now I'm old enough to act my age Yes, and caught up in it all I'm working trying to turn that page. Doll babe, I know you won't come here You're way beyond this atmosphere I'm struggling where you used to be Lord, baby, how d'you get so free? You've got my respect and I'm jealous too but that's alright What I'm trying to say, it sure would do me good, If I could hold you tight tonight I can't put you down but other people talk that mess Well, I hope you're happy now, babe, happy with your sweet success. Doll babe, it's getting way too real I miss the way I used to feel Can't ever live that past again Wish I knew now what I knew then. And walking in the sand, I look to see the tracks I've made And the tide is rushing in and I'm watching while my footprints fade It's been a lonesome time since you were back here in my arms And yes, I wonder now who's melting in your doll baby charms. Doll babe, I'm so alone tonight Ain't certain if I'm wrong or right Ain't certain if it's all worthwhile Lord, babe, if I could see your smile.
