I saw an orange starfish on the side of a rock

The moon is nowhere, almost time for the sun

The voice of the waves sounds anciently young
A* Dsus2 F#m7(4) E
I'm a prisoner of freedom, ten toes in the sand
And man, I wish I had a hand to hold
I'm in the habit of being alone
I try hard to break it, I can't on my own
A* Dsus2 A* Asus2
I'm glad no one's here, just me by the sea
A* Dsus2 Esus4 E*
I'm glad no one's here to mess it up for me

I'm glad no one's here, just me by the sea
But man, I wish I had a hand to hold
