Our love was born upon the shore
Beneath the dome of sequins
Our hands compressed into the sand
We slow-danced through the shallows
And the stones that skimmed
Were the ones we threw together
We claim this shore for us alone
A landscape crafted for our love
As the sun sets on us
As the sun sets on us
This is our shore
Our shore
On our return we brought a friend
Our first born’s cautious wading
But soon he’s running from the shore
Chasing dreams of his own making
And the stones that skimmed
Were the ones we threw together
We claim this shore for us alone
A landscape crafted for our love
As the sun sets on us
As the sun sets on us
This is our shore
Our shore
The steady heartbeat of the waves
The sinking sand of our past
This is our shore
Our shore
Just as we’re on our own again
An Autumn fog descended
Your light surrendered to the sea
A life so cruelly ended
Now the stones don’t skim
They just drag beneath the waves
We claim this shore for us alone
A landscape crafted for our love
As the sun sets on us
As the sun sets on us
This is our shore
Our shore
