Beach Access (2002)
1. "My Beloved Malibu" Written By: John Zambetti
I come from the town
Where the mountains meet the waves
And the surf sounds loudly
Each and every day
Where the gentle dolphins play
And wild coyotes roam
And when I see the sunset at Point Dume
I know that I am home
Surfrider, Zuma, Third point
Paradise Cove
Please let me sleep beside your waves
Serra Retreat
When I return to my beloved Malibu
Twenty-seven miles of paradise
From Dog Beach to county line
Nowhere on God’s sun drenched earth
Is another place so fine
Goin’ to Malibu
Comin’ through Malibu Canyon
Well I know it won’t be long
Goin’ to Malibu
I round the curve, see the waves
And break into this song
Surfrider, Zuma, Third point
Paradise Cove
Please let me sleep beside your waves
Serra Retreat
When I return to my beloved Malibu
You may travel far away
To see the wonders of the world
Cross the seven oceans
See the finest gems and pearls
Now you might seek excitement
And give everything a whirl
But nothing beats crusin’ PCH
In your car with your best girl
Surfrider, Zuma, Third point
Paradise Cove
Surfrider, Zuma, Third point
Paradise Cove
My beloved Malibu
Surfrider, Zuma, Third point
Paradise Cove
My beloved Malibu
Surfrider, Zuma, Third point
Paradise Cove
My beloved Malibu…
2. "California Days" Written By: Walter Egan
Where are all the sands of yesterday?
Taken by the tide and swept away
Still what used to be
Washes over me
Sunrise
Blue skies
Behind the morning haze
Thinkin’ ‘bout you
In California days
Nighttime bloomin’ jasmine fills the air
Fragrant memories just take me there
Cars on rainy streets
Sound just like the beach
Sunrise
Blue skies
Behind the morning haze
Thinkin’ ‘bout you
In California days
In California days
Cars on rainy streets
Take me to the beach
Sunrise
Blue skies
Behind the morning haze
Thinkin’ ‘bout you
In California days
Cerulean blue
And turquoise painted waves
Thinkin’ ‘bout you
In California days
In California days
Oooh aaahhh…
Oooh aahhhh…
Oooh ahhhhh…
4. "The Call of the Wave" Written By: John Zambetti
He’s up before dawn
Gently kisses her hair
He pushes his truck down the driveway
So not to wake her while she’s lying there
He fires it up, hits the lights
And drives out on into the haze
Don’t try to explain
It’s the call of the wave
He gets to the beach
As the night clouds give way
At the first sighting of the horizon
He paddles out and slides into a wave
The water’s so cold on his face
But the feeling’s the one that he craves
Don’t try to explain
It’s the call of the wave
The call of the wave
Is screaming right into his soul
When the call comes it can’t be denied
You hear it and it takes control
The call of the wave
Is screaming right into his soul
When the call comes it can’t be denied
You hear it and it takes control
She gets out of bed and she fixes her hair
(Got to get ready she wishes he’s here right now)
She smiles when she looks at his dresser
Sees his wax and Saint Christopher there
(She loves him oh so bad)
Her mother keeps saying she’s crazy
That’s no way for a man to behave
But what does she know
About the call of the wave?
Yeah, what does she know
’Bout the call of the wave?
What does she know
’Bout the call of the…
wave?
Ooh, ooh, ah, ah, she loves him oh so bad…
5. "Keep the Word Movin'" Written By: Walter Egan
Oh it’s a cold, cold day down in Tennessee
And I just don’t know what is wrong with me
There’s frost out on my Cherokee
I’m land locked
And these days, these days go rushing by
And I do my best just to try and try
But I just can’t turn back the hands of time
That damn clock
And the phone rings, I pick it up
What my friend says just picks me up
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead
And there was once a time we hung around
When we’d play our song just to hear the sound
Seems like nothing then ever got us down
In those days
But now we live our lives in another place
And devote our time to this crazy chase
And we don’t forget but the time erases
Those days
Sometimes it seems out of reach
Those days and nights by the beach
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead
Hey!
Hey!
And don’t you know this life is a funny thing
And you never know just what it will bring
When they say there’s always another spring
‘Til then, yeah
And now I find myself on a big ol’ plane
Just a flyin’ out to the golden state
‘Cause tonight the band’s gonna play again
Imagine
I never give up
I never say die
Better to live
Better to fly
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead
Keep the word movin,’ he says
Keep the word movin’
The dream’s not dead
6. "Our Summer Love" Written By: John Zambetti
Now as the days grow longer
My love is growing stronger
I only hope you feel the same
And as the moon beams brighter
Your arms are holding tighter
Holding on to our summer love (ooh)
Times that we’ve shared together
Leaves little doubt to whether
and now I know you feel the same
And as the fall draws nearer
The future’s getting clearer
Holding on to our summer love
The tide will bring the waves to shore
Nothing can stop the power
When nature takes its course
The tide will bring the waves to shore
Nothing can stop the power
When nature takes its course
Though it’s not been a long time
I know it’s not the wrong time
And now I know you feel the same
And like the sea and shoreline
Our lives have become entwined
Holding on to our summer love
8. "Summer Is Over" Written By: Walter Egan
Tonight I felt the chill of fall again
New memories came riding on the wind
Of sun and beach and sand and ocean breeze
Too soon October storms will bare the trees
In summertime the days they grow so long
By August nights are close and they are warm
But melancholy is this mystery
How quickly summer turns to history
Summer is over
Summer is over
Nights growing colder
Summer is over
Too soon December snows will blanket this town
As seeds of spring lay sleeping in the ground
But summer isn’t over though it’s gone
When in my heart the feeling’s living on
The summer is over
Yeah summer is over
The nights growing colder
The summer is over
Today I thought about you for awhile
The memory of you just made me smile
Summer is over
Summer is over
Nights growing colder
Summer is over
Summer is over
Summer is over
Nights growing colder
Summer is over
9. "Windansea" Written By: John Zambetti
Do you want to come and ride away
‘Cross the wind and sea?
Do you want to come and glide away
‘Cross the tides?
Take me by the hand and fly away
With the salty breeze
We can leave our problems on the land
Far behind
Flying with the dolphins by our sides
Is the way to be
We can live forever in this place
We've arrived
Skimmin' and a slidin' like a stone
Thrown across the sea
Lighter than the air 'neath the boards
That we ride
Do you want to come and ride away
‘Cross the wind and sea?
Do you want to come and glide away
‘Cross the tides?
Take me by the hand and fly away
With the salty breeze
We can leave our problems on the land
Far behind
11. "Little XKR" Written By: John Zambetti
Little XKR
You’re really lookin’ fine
With your supercharged 8
Your aerodynamic line
Little XKR
Gonna show you around
When we get to Pamona
You know we’re gonna shut ‘em down
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrr
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
You’re my Jag-u-ar
They’ll be running Corvettes, Vipers, Saleens too
But when they get through a dust off
They can’t get use to you
It’s not a pretty sight, to see those grown men cry
But as we pull out all they'll see is your tailpipes
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrr
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
You’re my Jag-u-ar
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrr
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
You’re my Jag-u-ar
Little XKR
When my lease is done
You know that won't be the end of all my fun
Gonna take all my winnings and mortgage up my home
And go and buy me a brand new Silverstone
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
Little XKR rrrrrrrrrrrrr
You’re my Jag-u-ar
12. "Surfer's Tears" Written By: Walter Egan
In the South Bay
They know his name
His life is surfer’s lore
How he paddled out that ten foot board
So far away from shore
Noble and brave he was
On that, his fateful day
As he rode in like a conqueror
On that enormous wave
Just before the final ride
I recall so well
He turned around and smiled at us
And gave a rebel yell
And the last wave appears
The surfer’s tears
Aaah…
Now the ocean is calm again
The evening glassoff time
As I gaze upon the final rays
Of sunshine
Sunshine…
Just as the mighty sea
Can swallow up the sun
So it took that mighty surfer
On his final run
And the last wave appears
The surfer’s tears
Aaah…
Aaah…
Aaah…
Waves of sorrow kissed the shore
He’s not coming back anymore
