A Tremors Song

It caught your eye
Among the shells
A gentle touch
A brave outreach

You went back in a haven's calm
With new-found hope inside your palm
A wooden house
A crystal sea

There's surely love in such a moment
When we send wishes 'cross the ocean
But they might not hold to see the unknown
And I'll be sliding from your fingers
When I've wrecked your heart and turned in tone
'Cause I am stone

You left your coat
Right on the floor
A blink of eye
A backward leap

It catches fire and summons ghost
When all your gems are tied to loss
A wooden house
A crystal sea

There's surely love in such a moment
When we send wishes 'cross the ocean
But they might not hold to see the unknown
And I'll be sliding from your fingers
When I've wrecked your mind, not turning gold
'Cause I am stone

'Cause I am stone

But on a shelf
With pearls and bones
And souvenirs
From early homes
The worry's gone
I do belong
