We were on the beach
And I was tryin' to reach
For your hand
But I was walkin'
On moonlight and quicksand
Oh, kissin' the waters

It's a long distance, a long way
That I gotta walk, that I gotta wait
It's a long distance, a long way

Wakin' up in the morning
Stretchin', reachin', yawnin'
Searchin' for you
But what else is a man to do
When he don't have
When he don't have
When he don't have
When he don't have
When he don't have
