Girl by the Sea by Steve Flemming

*Girl by the Sea* is a thoughtful and uplifting reflection on the contrast between worldly success and genuine inner fulfillment. Through the encounter between a powerful but emotionally empty man and a free-spirited woman who embraces love, honesty, and joy, the song explores the idea that true wealth is found not in status or possessions, but in living authentically and with an open heart. Blending romance, philosophy, and vivid imagery, *Girl by the Sea* celebrates the healing power of self-awareness, human connection, and the simple beauty of a life lived with courage, compassion, and love.

Written and Produced by Steve Flemming Girl by the Sea 2/17/20 9/17/25 [INSTRUMENTAL] No matter what he did and no matter where he went The life of discontent soon revealed its weary head He became the president and loved to then pretend He was better than his men while they used to hear him vent The birds would fly away, all the sweet songs they could play Never filled his driven days; how he lived in such dismay A cold heart made of stone like a boy so far from home Still afraid to feel his soul as he started to grow old [INSTRUMENTAL] Then a girl came to him; so delightful as a gem And whispered you won’t win for your worlds a sad dead end You don’t fool me with your grins and your manufactured friends Lost and tired men all afraid to face their sins What you really want is me; a love that sets you free From the loss and misery that you’re so scared to see Like my soft tender lips, my smooth long finger tips My wild swinging hips, my seductive subtle quips My laughter in the sun, my energy to run My joy inside the fun with birds that sing along My easy harmonies, my life of simple needs My courageous honesty, moved to give and to receive My calming tender touch, my soulful strength to trust My willingness to lust, until I am star dust So live your life in pain, trapped inside your restless shame For when you reach the grave, you will lose what you have saved But I’ll be dancing through my life of splendid truth All my inhibitions flew when I integrated youth I let my spirit soar to the places you ignore Like the fullness of my core, beautiful and so much more I let my life be real, not reduced to business deals I’m a Goddess who is healed; you’re a scared boy so concealed I’m a complex wonderment, that’s simply heaven sent Sharing time that is well spent from the wealth of my content You might be president inside your private jet Overlooking how we met, but you dream of me in bed Inside a fantasy has reduced reality To emptiness that seeks to somehow get to me A sweet girl by the sea, with a smile that's like a treat Spreading joy and not defeat; helping boys become complete Yes a sweet girl by the sea, with a smile that’s like a treat Spreading joy and company; helping boys to finally be [INSTRUMENTAL] Steve Flemming Closing words by Steve: If these songs have meant something to you, would you consider helping me keep this musical journey going with a small donation?
