Shorley Wall

No tears from a summercloud Til off the shore the stars come rolling out As the voices fade Tired of bad advice she whispers, "Ooh, watch the moon Can't you see? This is me." Shorley Wall She's selling seashells up on Shorley Wall Where the ocean swells and leaves you small She's selling seashells up on Shorley Wall Just watch the moonrise up on Shorley Wall Who could ask for more? If life is an open book She'd rather read the pictures for a while Let the bastards moan 'Cause where she falls, she falls And she says, "Ooh, give me time I need to find Who I am inside." Shorley Wall She's selling seashells up on Shorley Wall Where the ocean swells and leaves you small She's selling seashells up on Shorley Wall Just watch the moonrise up on Shorley Wall Who could ask for more? Can you see The moonlight Like a chandelier across the ocean where the mermaids sing? Take your shoes off And step into the ocean on the path of light "Like a broken arrow I'll catch the tail wind and draw the clouds Burning sugar As black as smoke It clothes the walls I open my heart She sings when she hurts It's good to sink deep inside To my only touchstone She's a friend in the dark My strength, my memories She delights in torture She holds my hand but never shields me Because the best shield is to accept the pain Then what can really destroy me? Let me close my eyes and lie invisible And perhaps the clouds will pass through me."
