Our Shore

Our love was born upon the shore Beneath the dome of sequins Our hands compressed into the sand We slow-danced through the shallows And the stones that skimmed Were the ones we threw together We claim this shore for us alone A landscape crafted for our love As the sun sets on us As the sun sets on us This is our shore Our shore On our return we brought a friend Our first born’s cautious wading But soon he’s running from the shore Chasing dreams of his own making And the stones that skimmed Were the ones we threw together We claim this shore for us alone A landscape crafted for our love As the sun sets on us As the sun sets on us This is our shore Our shore The steady heartbeat of the waves The sinking sand of our past This is our shore Our shore Just as we’re on our own again An Autumn fog descended Your light surrendered to the sea A life so cruelly ended Now the stones don’t skim They just drag beneath the waves We claim this shore for us alone A landscape crafted for our love As the sun sets on us As the sun sets on us This is our shore Our shore
