B.K. was my best friend in 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

Naked on the shore
