Amy Speace - The Sea & The Shore lyrics

The Sea & The Shore by Amy Speace/Robby Hecht Said the Sea to the Shore when the evening tide came in “I am here to tell you tales of where I’ve been In the shells I’ve whispered my love songs in secret rhyme And left them at your door for you to find Tempered the force of my waves when your Gods would roar And took care of the ships full of men that you sent off to war I’ve longed for you for so long” said the Sea to the Shore Said the Shore to the Sea “You left me here too long I was promised to the moon while you were gone He waited until the brightest night To demand my hand under his fullest light And promised he’d always stay and watch over me Oh why did you wait ‘till now” said the Shore to the Sea Said the Sea to the Shore “I swore I’d return sponsored links And here I am with all that I have learned I can hold you now with arms of foam and spray Touching you at the coming of dusk and the breaking of day Smoothing out the folds on every stone” Said the Sea to the Shore “don’t leave me here alone” Said the Shore to the Sea “You’ve said all these things before And I tell you I can’t hear them anymore Oh there was a time once I’d have given in I’d hear your savage white caps rolling in Your troughs would come up slow beneath my chin Your mist would kiss me softly on my skin Leaving the salty trails where you had been My legs would give out in your undertow Oh but Sea that was a long long time ago” So the Sea took one last look and turned away And the Shore was more than strong enough to stay And castles melted back into the sand Driftwood drifted up onto the land Rocks rose up proud in shinny skin Shells began their gossiping again
