On The Beach Lyrics
Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind those guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
On the beach yeah
Down on the beach
The secrets of the summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach yeah
Down on the beach
Yeah down on the beach
On the beach yeah
On the beach
Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach yeah
Down on the beach
Yeah down on the beach
On the beach yeah
On the beach
Behind those guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
On the beach yeah
Down on the beach
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach yeah
Down on the beach
Yeah down on the beach
On the beach yeah
On the beach
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach yeah
Yeah down on the beach
On the beach yeah
On the beach

Every time I hear this song it takes me back to a summer spent on the beaches of the greek islands in 2002... I also think that Chris may be referring to a holiday romance...
Chris said this song is a blues one about longing to be on the beach, while being in some other place...
This guy has an amazing voice. Really nice song.
Love the quiet emotion in this song... recalling a summer romance when passion flared. What a wonderful singer.
"A day of STRANGE desire"
The word 'strange' is interesting. Could the song be about a gay rendezvous?
"Behind those guarded walls I used to go" and "The secrets of the summer I will keep" again sounds to me like it was 'not quite kosher', at least at the time.
Even so, it's a song I absolutely love as it has romance, class as well as the strong atmosphere of being by the beach in a very relaxing, calm environment. It's a song that is from a purely laid-back, sand-between-toes-no-watch-on-looking-at-the-surf-in-the-late-afternoon place :)
