The Shore

Time will always be a bore

I always run for more

When things begin to settle for me

But I've become too old for meeting

But I'm not the modern man

So I quietly return to the sea

At least she made a phone

We're standing on the shore or on the harbor

And we're watching the waves

And we're safe on the wharf

I'll keep you safe upon the harbor

When the moon is half in hiding

And intentions are colliding

We'll be safe on the harbor

When we're unsafe upon the waters

When the stars are all colliding

And the oceans are colliding

We'll be safe on the shores of our love

We'll be safe on the shores

Love, I hate your second verse

It's always been a curse

We have to make some progress or change

But I've seen many ways to end relations

Though I'm not the leaving kind

I'm an expert of pushing away

I thought I'd let you know

Before it starts to snow around the city

But it's already here

And we shake on the wharf

Where we'd be safe upon the harbor

When the moon is half in hiding

And intentions are colliding

I'll be safe on the harbor

Are we unsafe upon the waters?

And the stars are all colliding

And the oceans are colliding

Are we safe on the shores of our love?

Are we safe on the shores?

This is no design to make you sad

It's just a way of seeing where we are

This is no design to make you sad

But we've got to make a change

Or we'll be done before this year's ended

I'll be leaving now, but I'll leave you now

I'll be leaving now, but I'll leave you now
