Sea Glass Lyrics

Walking by the sea today

I found a piece of colored glass

What secrets do you hide?

Tell me about your past

What young lover held you so

And wore your sweet perfume

Or was it ale for an old sea salt

Alone in some saloon

Did you hold comfort for the sick

In the waining twilight hours

When empty did you hold a candle

Or a small bouquet of flowers

Tumbling / spinning 'round

Wave after wave would pound

A shattered past, the sharpness wears down

The sea draws back and you are found

Who tossed and broke you?

How did they let go?

Were you no longer needed?

And who told you so?

Knocked over, broken in a fight?

Left you in pieces, wasn't right

Emptied, put on a shelf

Tossed away in the night

Did you think that life was o'er

Tumbling the ocean floor

Could you feel your new beauty as

You washed up on the shore

Tumbling / spinning 'round

Wave after wave would pound

A shattered past, the sharpness wears down

The sea draws back and you are found

The sea draws back and you are found

You may be shattered. May be tossed

Tumble for years feeling lost

You may feel helpless, beaten up

Lost and ready to give out

You may have lost your sense of purpose

But you emerged anew

Once a broken vessel

You now bring joy to someone new

You weren't broken when I found you

If you could see through my eyes

You'd see the sea has shaped you to be

A treasured prize

Tumbling / spinning 'round

Wave after wave would pound

A shattered past, the sharpness wears down

The sea draws back and you are found

The sea draws back and you are found

The sea draws back

And you are found
