[Intro – instrumental] (acoustic guitar, ocean waves, light piano, 8 bars) [Verse 1] I walked back to the shore today The waves still speak your name The sand still holds the shape of us From that summer in the rain [Verse 2] The fishermen still mend their nets The gulls still cry at dawn And I still come back to this place Long after you are gone [Chorus] The shore remembers everything The tide that brought you in The night we wrote our names in sand And let the sea begin The shore remembers, I remember Every word you said The shore remembers you and I Long after love has fled [Bridge] Maybe the sea forgets in time But I am not the sea I carry every wave you left Inside of me [Chorus] The shore remembers everything The tide that brought you in The night we wrote our names in sand And let the sea begin The shore remembers, I remember Standing here alone The shore remembers all of this And calls it home [Outro] (guitar fingerpicking, waves fade) The shore remembers
