Take your shoes off in the sand

Описание: Another poem from the book "Versed in Survival"

This one tells a story from the beginning to the very end of love.

I hope you enjoy the way this works too music.

Verse 1:
We were seventeen and fearless, chasing sparks in summer's light
Laughter on our lips, not looking past the coming night

You pulled me through the dunes, said “this is how we feel the world”
So I braved the barefoot ballet and couldn't help to love this girl

Chorus:
The tide is opening the floor for us
The wind becomes our band
The moon he's playing maestro
So take your shoes off in the sand
Time will wash away our names some day
The silence may steal our plans
But we've got this chance, to find our dance
Take your shoes off in the sand

Verse 2:
We were thirty, working tirelessly, sometimes tension took the wheel
But all it took was just one look, and we'd remember how to feel

Two little feet beside our own, chasing waves along the shore
You said “it’s all I ever want” I said "I needed nothing more "

Chorus:
The tide is opening the floor for us
The wind becomes our band
The moon he's playing maestro
So take your shoes off in the sand
Time will wash away our names some day
The silence may steal our plans
But we've got this chance, to find our dance
Take your shoes off in the sand

Verse 3:
We were sixty, joints like anchors, still we'd dance the slowing beat
You steadied when I stumbled, while the sea still kissed our feet

The kids had gone, our hair turned grey, nostalgia hummed the tune
I'd still lead you to our dance floor, and fall in love beneath the moon

Chorus:
The tide is opening the floor for us
The wind becomes our band
The moon he's playing maestro
So take your shoes off in the sand
Time will wash away our names some day
The silence may steal our plans
But we've got this chance, to find our dance
Take your shoes off in the sand


Verse 4:
Now it’s just you, the coast and sea, as you stand in fading light
Just one single set of footprints now, that lead in to the night

You remove the lid and let me go, to dance with the wind and sea
And with a smile, said "in a while, he'll dance again with me"

Chorus:
The tide is opening the floor for us
The wind becomes our band
The moon he's playing maestro
So take your shoes off in the sand
Time will wash away our names some day
The silence may steal our plans
But we've got this chance, to find our dance
Take your shoes off in the sand
