[Intro] (Gentle birdsong, warm piano chords, soft violin swell) [Verse 1] Pink sand cool beneath our feet Salty breeze and afternoon heat A wooden boat tied to the dock To the rhythm of the waves we rock You turn to me and close your eyes Underneath these open skies [Chorus] Oh, the tide will rise and the tide will fall But this island heart will hear your call Through the rake-and-scrape and the quiet night We're drifting in the amber light Hold me close, let the world fade out This is what the shore is all about [Verse 2] Bell-like accents in the trees Rustling leaves with every breeze Your hand in mine, a simple chord More than we could ever afford No rush to leave, no place to go Where the warm trade winds blow [Chorus] Oh, the tide will rise and the tide will fall But this island heart will hear your call Through the rake-and-scrape and the quiet night We're drifting in the amber light Hold me close, let the world fade out This is what the shore is all about [Outro] (Violin counterline, birdsong returning) Just the ocean sound... Just the ocean sound... (Piano fades out)
