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
