The Rumjacks - Pulled From the Shore Lyrics

While the waves are falling empty
The words don't mean a thing
All the faces that you once knew
Are watching through a screen

While your clarity is fading
You're clawing out from more
And everyone you once knew
Is watching from the shore

And one day the shoreline will erode
All we can do is watch as you're

Pulled from the shore

There's a wind on the horizon
And the clouds are pushing on
But the poetry you once read
Is spinning in a song
And lines are only written where the water claims sand
For the world's more full of weeping, than you can understand.

And I'm sitting by the water as the sunset fades
And halfway round the world begins another day
And I'm looking at a photo as the edges fray
And soon enough the footprints will be swept away

And now the daylight's fading
But I can still make my way home
Cus theres a light that you left me
You're not there no more,
You're pulled from the shore
