Sundial on the Shore (версия 2)

Verse 1

Barefoot on the sand as the sun hits your chest

Saltwater cool against my collarbone, I can taste it best

A beachside path that winds through dunes of gold

Every step unwinds a story yet untold

Grandfather carved this sundial in the stone

Marked each season's coming and going alone

I watch as the shadow crawls toward your name

Remembering all the summers we claimed to reclaim

Pre-Chorus

So let the light keep climbing up the sky

Let it burn away a little bit of me and you, I wonder why

Hold my hand when the sun starts its drop

Say what's left to carry from here where we cross

Chorus

Sundial on the shore, we've been counting these years

Every shadow that falls tells us we're still here

So let the light keep climbing up the sky

Let it burn away a little bit of me and you, I wonder why

Hold my hand when the sun starts its drop

Say what's left to carry from here where we cross

Verse 2

Sea glass washed up by the tide line

Mama kept them in a jar that glowed like candlelight

You used to throw stones at the horizon's rim

Swear you'd reach the end before you knew the cost of it all yet again

The same old wooden sign with its faded gold paint

Held up against the headwind, we both thought we wouldn't wait

Now I'm older than the stone that casts this long

Trying to find my own place in a light that's still not gone

Pre-Chorus

So let the light keep climbing up the sky

Let it burn away a little bit of me and you, I wonder why

Hold my hand when the sun starts its drop

Say what's left to carry from here where we cross

Chorus

Sundial on the shore, we've been counting these years

Every shadow that falls tells us we're still here

So let the light keep climbing up the sky

Let it burn away a little bit of me and you, I wonder why

Hold my hand when the sun starts its drop

Say what's left to carry from here where we cross

Bridge

Not every line will find its sunset

Some just learn to run without the rustling

You might still chase your own horizon now

I'm not asking you to stay in one place somehow

Keep the glass jar, keep it filled with sand

Know that when I say goodbye, my hand stays in the land

Where we stood against this very same tide

I'll hold onto what's left before I divide

Outro

Sundial on the shore

Still keeping time
