Pictures of Shorelines

if you insist on pictures of shorelines

then i insist on pages of your lines

meant for me, to be sent to me



remember watching the storms from the lifeguard stand

remember feeling the tingling

in my fingertips, when i touched your lips



and i recall how you sat on the same side of me

it always seemed that you'd always be on my side

you're my best side



and it's early June, so the sand's still dry

and you have got the boldest eyes

and i can't help but think it's right

that inside you it's me i'll find

and i'm still waiting



and it's early June, so the sand's still dry

and the storm off shore is not far behind

and i'm still waiting

and i'm still waiting



and sometimes you don't say a thing for a long while

and the ships off shore hold stories that we'd make

and sometimes we are held at bay by these miles

but less of you is more than i can take



and the moments that we've shared could last a lifetime

and the faith i have in us, will keep you near

and several of these miles placed in between us

mean several of these words being sent by mail



i hope this letter finds you well



and sometimes you don't say a thing for a long while

and the ships off shore hold stories that we'd make

and sometimes we are held at bay by these miles

but less of you is more than i can take
