Turtle Beach

She was living on the shore, two feet from the ocean's reach
In a little tent pegged to the sand in a corner of Turtle Beach
Hair the black of raven's wings the scorching sun can't bleach
She told me stunning stories there on Turtle Beach

She offered me an apple, it was juicy as a peach
Seems everything seems better here on Turtle Beach
Parables she told me there, sweet sermons she would preach
In this serene sanctuary they call Turtle Beach

I said there's just so much to learn
And she had much to teach
And she taught me so many things
There on Turtle Beach

I was asking questions, each answer was a speech
My mind was really reeling there on Turtle Beach
For she put forth such theses, all my logic couldn't breach
I wondered would all this still hold true when we left Turtle Beach

I said there's just so much to know
She said that I had much to teach
But I just wanted to learn more
There on Turtle Beach

So we lay there looking at the skies
And took a moment each
To marvel at the universe
From the sands of Turtle Beach

Above us in the treetops, mighty eagles screech
They see this scene every day
Here on Turtle Beach

I said there's just so much to learn
And she had much to teach
And she taught me many things
There on Turtle Beach

She said there's just so much to know
But each of us has much we can teach
So pass your truth to the next soul
You meet on Turtle Beach
