Lyrics

See Shell

Steppin? cross the beach tiptoein? through the high tide,
with the setting sun leaving heat on my bare hide.

Warm breeze flows up from the coastal sea,
fillin? up my lungs, blowing back on me.

Up ahead on the shore I see an old fella
hunched underneath His battered down umbrella.

And I ask myself how he could settle down
living here in the sand across from the town.

(Chorus)
Wait for me on the other side.
Show me all that you?ve left behind.
Wait for me to come back again.
?Cause I?ll be there my friend.

Looking down in the sand, the color caught me eye,
of a shell that was lying underneath the sky.

I put it in my pocket and looked towards the man,
who had another shell resting in his hand.

Walked on up and gave the shell to him.
He looked at me with a crooked old grin.

He said, ?Thank you very much for your generosity.
I?m trying to collect every shell in the sea.?

?Well oh my, my,? as I look to the sky
with the stars poking out, and the sun about to die.

I thought about the life that old man had lived.
and the life of mine that was yet to begin.

So I went on my way bare feet in the sand
with the same old shuffle and no real plan.

Stuck in my head, the thought I will keep.
Never to forget that old man by the sea.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)



Now skittly dot dat. Try to bring me back.
Beedle beadily bot bat ba deet dot buh bat.

My mind was floatin? high with the clouds in the sky,
thinkin? of what I saw in that old man?s eye.

In the future, twenty years from now,
I wonder if my life will have changed somehow.

I hope that it?s me you?ll see sittin? in the sand
with a smile on my face and a shell in my hand.

Preachin? out my thoughts to the passersby
about the dew in the grass, and the gulls in the sky.

Never to return to the city again,
?cause I?ll have found a home, close to heaven.

(Solo)

(Chorus)

Oh, looking out to the sea from my place on the shore,
as the sun gets eaten, like every day before.

Turn my head from the sea to the sky.
Give the moon a wave goodbye.

Close my eyes and sink into the sand,
and I realize, I?ve got a shell in my hand?

In my hand?

I?ve got a shell?

Goodbye?
