The Sea and the Shore
If I were the sea and you were the shore
Would I be the one that you truly adore?
Would you count your sands like an hourglass
Would you yearn for me as the moments pass
‘Til my passionate high tide once again pours
Over you freely if you were the shore?
If I were the shore and you were the sea
Would you rush into my arms willingly?
Would no other shore ever pull you away
Would you wear me down with your love day by day
Make my rough edges smooth and my buried heart free
To sail with you always if you were the sea?
