Bruce Hornsby - Continents Drift lyrics

We were new to love when we were young Lying in our arms, gravity unwinding Not knowing we were too young to love And the years pa**ed by in our entwining And the eastern coast met the western shore And the ma**es of land fit just like a glove And the dawn that came up, moved us to explore The borders that outlined our love Continents drift Across a moonlit ocean Continents divide In a glacial measured motion Continents drift As foothills move our mountains Our fault lines are accounted As our continents divide We're old hands at love, no longer young Lying here alone, invisibly unwinding Believing we needed to be young to love And the years pa** by in our unbinding And the world presses in and our shorelines change And the cycle of tides moves us in the darkness Now the light that comes up on your distant range From the east casts a shadow between us Continents drift Across a moonlit ocean Continents divide In glacial measured motion Continents drift As foothills move our mountains Our fault lines are accounted As our continents divide Continents drift Across a moonlit ocean Continents divide In glacial measured motion Continents drift As foothills move our mountains Our fault lines are accounted As our continents divide Our fault lines are accounted In glacial measured motion As foothills move our mountains, mountains Our fault lines are accounted As our continents divide
