Roster McCabe - Southern Shore lyrics

So we find from far away Troubled peoples have sent us here today A place where ghosts rest and blood was shed Ceremonies in the sand honor the dead The dirt feels fine against my feet The sun shines bright Where sky and water meet If you will dry my tears I promise Ill dry yours So come wade with me along the southern shore Water will carry our sins And leave them where the current begins So far away from us, along the southern shore Where cursed ships with sailors float by They can never know love They cant know our life But Ill still drink to life And smoke to d**h But its in honor of our last breath So well gather here and confess the truth Its just an image of what I see in you The water can fill our needs And keep us strong like the roots of trees That plant themselves along the southern shore Sun shine fades as clouds roll through In our darkest hour, we dont know who to turn to With my blood I will pa** on all my dreams Like the clear fresh water from rivers and streams That collect and run off the southern shore With the hope my kin wont need anything more Than to live and feel the sun on their face I trust theyll make it here to this sacred place We hold our hearts steady and fast But I warn you now, your life will pa** And we all have our complaints But believe me, here, they are nearly the same Theyll wash away along the southern shore
