Shoreline Echo

[Intro] Salt on the breeze, a shoreline sighs Footprints wash away with summer skies [Verse 1] We traced our names in foam, you and I Where gulls write stories in the pale blue light The boardwalk bells rang soft and slow As promises drifted like a tide that won't stay [Chorus] Postcards fade to pale and gray Your memory curls around the quay If love is tides, then ours slipped away Leaving shells and a salt-kissed ache with me [Verse 2] The harbor keeps our laughter in its glassy chest Seasonal winds hum a tune of what’s left Your kiss tasted like lemonade and rain Now the pier holds echoes of your name [Chorus] Postcards fade to pale and gray Your memory curls around the quay If love is tides, then ours slipped away Leaving shells and a salt-kissed ache with me [Bridge] I count the breaths between each crashing wave I keep your harbor in a locket saved But summer rents the daylight from our map And time returns the tide to the sea we lacked [Chorus] Postcards fade to pale and gray Your memory curls around the quay If love is tides, then ours slipped away Leaving shells and a salt-kissed ache with me [Outro] So I walk the shore where our shadows slept Let the coastline keep what we once kept The sunset seals this with a quiet wave A love that came and went, like summer’s fade
