Lyrics
Beachwalker
(c) 1979, 2003 by Fletcher M. Johnson
She walks down the beach with a small dog at her heels.
She's dressed in white, just waiting for a knight
From the round table.
At night she cruises the fun part of town.
She comes home at oh-dark-thirty
Looking pretty beat up, wearing a frown.
She sails through the kitchen
And has a coffee with the man who drives her daddy's limosine.
She drinks it black and says to him,
"tell me Charles, what does it all mean."
-chorus-
She glances in the mirror as she walks by
She's pushing thirty five and has to cry.
She hates it when he calls her "daddy's little girl"
But she knows she can't make it
in that cold, cruel world.
She walks down the beach with a small dog at her heels.
She's dressed in white, just waiting for a knight
from the round table, to take her away.
