Alone he stands on the beach
He’s come this far from all he has known
All goals and hopes smashed and out of reach
He has lost all, job, family, love and home.
The bottle’s content is his only friend
He’s cold and tired, no life he has lost all hope,
The sun sets another empty day comes to an end
Water laps his feet, tears burn his eyes he cannot cope.
Emptiness eats his soul the pain is deep like a cancer
He knows he had it all and lost it, his fault only
He was young and reckless and a bright romancer
Squandered days and nights,drink and drugs left him lonely
When did it start he does not know
But he prays it will end and soon
He lays down curled like a child, his tears flow.
Alone on the beach washed by sea and lit by moon.
