On The Beach is the title track from Chris Rea's eighth studio album, released in 1986.
I'd been playing around with masking in the video editor I use and thought it would be a good excuse to "set the scene", as it were, for this track with a nice desert island-type beach. Whether it was the kind of beach Chris Rea had in mind when he wrote the track is anyone's guess, but it gives you something else to look at than just the record spinning round. . . .

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach
The secrets of the summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No-one but you and I
Underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach
Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire
And a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach
