Shell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the telling of your story, there is so much that's lost
There's an ocean in between the seen and unseen
That's as deep as the loss was to you so young
I just see a shell

[Verse 2]
Can't really get the picture, I've nothing to compare
Can't say I understand, have no hand to lend
You had more than your fair share for one so young
But you do it all so well
[Verse 3] I fold things just like my mother, into two, then into three
I don't know why I do, but then I think of you
What it takes to be free from all you've learned
But you know it all too well

[Verse 4]
In the telling of your story, you say there's so much more
Then you curl away from me to some deeper sea
And I'm here on the foreshore 'til your return
I just see a shell
