[Pre-Chorus] From across the vast and open sea Was it your sole mission to enchant me? From across the ocean's wide expanse You've drawn me into your mystical trance [Chorus] Distant shore, oh-oh, oh-oh Distant shore, oh-oh, oh-oh It's like the closer I get the further I am From your distant shore [Drop] (Your distant shore) [Verse 1] Your melodic voice carried by the wind Your magical essence, the waves they bring in Your exotic eyes, piercing through my heart Your soft red lips, I'd dreamt how they'd part [Refrain] I've pondered how your skin would shimmer Under the glow of the setting sun in summer The touch of your hand and its sweet caress The scent of you hair, but now I digress [Pre-Chorus] From across the vast and open sea Was it your sole mission to enchant me? From across the ocean's wide expanse You've drawn me into your mystical trance [Chorus] Distant shore, oh-oh, oh-oh Distant shore, oh-oh, oh-oh It's like the closer I get the further I am From your distant shore [Drop] (Your distant shore) (Your distant shore) [Verse 2] I'd brave the storm and sail to you I'd wade the brimming tides to get through The ebb and flow of the surging surf Tearing the heavens, to get to your turf [Refrain] I've pondered how your skin would shimmer Under the glow of the setting sun in summer The touch of your hand and its sweet caress The scent of you hair, but now I digress [Pre-Chorus] From across the vast and open sea Was it your sole mission to enchant me? From across the ocean's wide expanse You've drawn me into your mystical trance [Chorus] Distant shore, oh-oh, oh-oh Distant shore, oh-oh, oh-oh It's like the closer I get the further I am From your distant shore [Bridge] Beaten and battered, I'd finally breach Every challenge that kept me from your reach And on that sandy and distant shore I'll find you waiting with those parted lips I adore Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh, ooh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh [Chorus] It's like the closer I get, it's like the closer I get It's like the closer I get the further I am From your distant shore [Drop] (Your distant shore) (Your distant shore)
