September’s dunes have drifted and my cold heart is lifted
to see this silent, barefoot journey that you’ve made.

Will you? Love me? Beneath this boardwalk in the shade?

Your palm of shells and frosted glass. 
The pastel sky, the swaying grass.
The hidden spot where you and I have laid.

Will you? Love me? Beneath this boardwalk in the shade?

The wind sends sunshine through your hair.
Gulls float by on ocean air.
I continue now my affectionate crusade.

Will you? Love me? Beneath this boardwalk in the shade?

Let’s sneak into this sandy brier.
You know just what my lips desire.
We’ll lay within the sea oat’s wispy gold.
Clouds glide like silver threads above.
you have no need to worry, love.

I’ll never share the secrets that we hold.
The breeze is pushing inland.
The doves flies from their limbs and
the crickets start their rhythmic serenade.

Will you? Love me? Beneath this boardwalk in the shade?

A winding path has brought you here.
Your footprints soon will disappear.
It’s your salty lips I’m trying to persuade.

Will you? Love me? Beneath this boardwalk in the shade?
