B.K. was my best friend on the school We got high and played the brilliant fools And one magic Sunday down on the beach We sailed off somewhere out of reach
And I first tasted love when I was just 14 She was fine, she filled up all my dreams But much too young, you know we drifted apart Strange how the memory still pulls at my heart
No -- I'd never felt that way before Even if I had, I'd still be standing -- Naked on the shore
Well I was coming home From Staying out all night When sadness rolled across Like a dark December night Oh, he was more than just a 'Gramps' to me He was something like a Dad And I took the loss so hard You know I never felt so bad
No -- I'd never felt that way before Even if I had, I'd still be coming back for more. No I never seen a sun so bright. And I'm standing Naked on the shore
Yes I feel as though I'm standing....
I'm looking back on all these things i've done Still I know -- the best is yet to come 'Cause experience and innocence That's what I've got behind me Unless you look ahead my friend You're never gonna find me
