Lyrics:
I started to run along the shore
I wasn't tired yet so I ran some more
The sun was bright so I turned away,
But there was a sand castle in my way
So I ran right through, I tore it down
The sand castle's broken on the ground
The kid who built it wasn't there,
But I kept on running 'cause I thought he'd care
I started thinking, wondering why
I didn't want to see that poor kid cry
The water was cool, the breeze was blue
I was already running, might as well continue
The day was nice, it's good to share
Drinks with ice, sand in my hair
Sitting on the beach I could show you where
I started running - all the way down there
Pineapple fruits and coconuts
Little kids eating in little huts
One umbrella beside the chair
Drinks with ice, sand in my hair
The broken sand castle was still there
Kid started crying but I didn't care
Taking a break from running on the shore
So that maybe later I can run some more

Thank you! I also put up a newer version of this song here, tell me what you think of that one too because it's a bit different.

Liked it a lot man. Digging the lo-fi sound. Lyrics are very simple, but tell a story effectively, something that is always a challenge for me with my own songs.

Thanks! Did you by chance hear my newer version of "The Beaches"? It's floating around on here, just wondering what you might think of that one.

I found it! I enjoyed it a lot. Tough to say which is better. I like the original for its more lofi homespun feel but the new one for its more elaborate instrumentation. Its a toss up really.
