The Shore

I'm gonna die
At least I might
There's always a chance I'm a cartoon
Drop an anvil on my head
But I'll never be dead
Maybe I'll pop up like a spring
Never saw such a crazy thing
In the valley we will sing

I won't spend these days just trying to prolong them
Footsteps wash away when the shoreline absorbs them
One of these waves will take me to the shore
To the shore

Morning has come
The stars are done glowing their flames of fire
Floating higher than the tallest living tree
With a vision of the sea
Maybe you'll wrap it in a bow and give to me that rivers flow
Dreaming on and letting go

I won't spend these days just trying to prolong them
Footsteps wash away when the shore line absorbs them
One of these waves will take me to the shore
To the shore

I am feeling so green
Like I'm grazing in the desert
Like I'm talking to a man
And he is light and he is bright and holding fire in his hand
And I'm alive and movin time and trying hard to understand
What there is to understand
