Lyrics
we walked the coast, the sand bitter cold.
you watched the stars, i left you alone.
and you swore to the night and let the ocean pass the message
yeah, you waded waist deep and let the ocean pass the message that night.
the jetty heard the things that were said.
it saw you cry, it left me for dead.
and as the waves picked up with time i saw the ocean kiss the moonlight
yeah, you screamed to the night and said you'd never kiss the moonlight.
oh-oh-oh
we walked the coast, the sand bitter cold.
forever ours, you said, 'we're getting old.'
and you screamed as if the roar would simply turn around the issue
like the cry would startle god and find the devil was against you,
when the night it turned to day, you said it all.
we walked the coast, the sand bitter cold.
you watched the stars, i left you alone.
