What says love more than a shark attack! This song does have some serious symbolism for me personally. I would also like to say that Mr. Mitchell has really inspired me through this contest. Mitchell’s stuff has taught me to create lyrical dynamics. So in writing this one, I got to the third verse and decided to really have something extraordinary happen. By the way, this song is 3:29:59 so suck it!
lyrics
The Beach Of Virginia
On the beach of Virginia
In my younger days
In the warm Summer waters
I’d frolic and play
Then the first time I saw you
So lovely and kind
On the beach of Virginia
Well it was love at first sight
Now Norfolk is fair
But too far away
From the beach of Virginia
Where I’d spend my days
And you gave your heart to me
And I gave you mine
On the beach of Virginia
The greatest love of all time
Well I went down to Monkey Ward’s
To buy you a ring
It was way more than I could afford
But I bought it anyway
And the next time I saw you
Got down on one knee
On the beach of Virginia
It was our wedding day
Now Norfolk is fair
But too far away
From the beach of Virginia
Where we spent our days
And you gave your heart to me
And I gave you mine
On the beach of Virginia
The greatest love of all time
From the white sands one summer day
About 6:38
I sat and I watched you play
In the fair ocean waves
Then the waters turned red
And a fin swam away
For the beach of Virginia
Had taken you away
Now Norfolk is fair
And it’s where I will stay
Far from the beach of Virginia
Where my love went away
Where you gave your heart to me
And I gave you mine
On the beach of Virginia
The greatest love of all time
