Lyrics
Distant Shore
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I watched you slip through my fingers
I saw the ship change course
And out in the waves your spirit lingers
As the ghosts rise up from the sea
Now my heart feels different
Shores between so distant
I am alone, I am free
No one's come and conquer me
Out in the waves, cast out to sea
You slip away from me
Sometimes I'm lost in a daydream
I'm trailing off to God knows where
The waters were still and I could see
The borders of your land
Now my heart feels different
Shores between so distant
I am alone, I am free
No one's come and conquer me
Out in the waves, cast out to sea
You slip away from me
From me
From me
You slip away from me
You slip away from me
You slip away from me
