This was a song written for a friend who passed away in early 2006:
And after the ceremony, me and William and our friend Cameron we went out to the Ocean, down in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, and there were these unbroken lines of foam as far as the eye could see: both ways. And it felt like so...
Standing on a beach somewhere
Looking for something to see
As the beach rolls in, I swear
It's bringing something to me
Maybe one day I'll have what I want
Someone to stand next to me
Until then I'll just wait and watch
As the foam rolls in--to me
Beach foam baby, be my baby
Beach foam
Beach foam baby, be my baby, be mine
Standing on a shore somewhere, looking for something to be
As the beach rolls in, I swear, it's bringing something to me
Maybe one day I'll have what I want
Maybe one day I'll follow the streams
Until then I'll just wait and watch
As the foam rolls in--to me
Beach foam baby, be my baby
Beach foam
Beach foam baby, be my baby, be mine
Beach foam baby, be my baby
Beach foam
Beach foam baby, be my baby, be mine...
