La Mer

Frameshift

I lie awake wondering who I am

My dreams don't seem to make any sense

Imagination running wild - it can't satisfy my need



Oceans taunt me - I'm a patron to the coast

Dark seas, cool breeze - today the tide is low



And then suddenly a shape has caught my eye

Calling me - could not resist or pass it by



On the shore I found an answer

Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure

I took it home to keep it safe

Little spiral in my hand

The stories you can tell

Never cease to captivate me

Just a simple shell

You came out of the sea

Now you belong to me



I hold it close - I know there are many more

It's like a gallery - down on the ocean floor

Shapes and patterns infinite - spelling clues to history



Swept ashore - could not resist or pass it by



On the shore I found an answer

Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure

I took it home to keep it safe

Little spiral in my hand

The stories you can tell

Never cease to captivate me

Just a simple shell

You came out of the sea

Now you belong to me



Moved by the swells

Currents will tell

Tell us you story

So many out there

No one just like my

Immortal coil keep on floating



On the shore I found an answer

Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure

I took it home to keep it safe

Little spiral in my hand

The stories you can tell

Never cease to captivate me

Just a simple shell

You came out of the sea

Now you belong to me



I lie awake knowing who I am

My dreams now seem to make sense again
