Distant Shore - Karen Elson

I watched you slip through my fingers

I saw the ship change course

And out in the waves your spirit lingers

As the ghosts rise up from the sea

Now my heart feels different

Shores between so distant

I am alone, I am free

No one’s come and conquer me

Out in the waves, cast out to sea

You slip away from me

Sometimes I’m lost in a daydream

I’m trailing off to God knows where

The waters were still and I could see

The borders of your land

Now my heart feels different

Shores between so distant

I am alone, I am free

No one’s come and conquer me

Out in the waves, cast out to sea

You slip away from me

From me

From me

You slip away from me

You slip away from me

You slip away from me
