Shells

You used to smile across the room
I was a girl with no intentions to bloom…
You said the words I longed to hear
And there I stood, and my heart aching with fear…
And you said…
Love, love, love, is a sky high above us
Lay your love, love, love on me and I won’t let you go…
I won’t let you go, no I won’t let you go…
I said I need something to drink…
My boat was leaking, I was ready to sink
You laughed and said that it’s ok…
I couldn’t leave you I had no place to stay… When you said
Love, love, love, is a sky high above you
Lay your love, love, love on me and I won’t let you go…
I won’t let you go, no I won’t let you go…
I thought I saw your light as the darkness fell
Yes, yes I saw you shine where only shadows dwell
Yes, I saw the light… Now I live to tell
That without our love we’re just empty shells…
