Ron Sexsmith - Shoreline Lyrics

I can see it in your faraway eyes
I can hear it in your lonely sighs
I know you're looking for the shoreline
In your mind

Somewhere the waves are crashing in
It's hard when two people want different things
But I'd like to help you find that shoreline
In your mind

All I want is to see you smile
Surely there's a way
We can both be happy
Oh my darling

You know I'm a city boy at heart
You're a mermaid in an ocean dark
But maybe it's everywhere that we are
Where we are

All I want is to see you smile
Surely there's a way
We can both be happy
I know my darling

I can see it in your faraway eyes
I can hear it in your lonely sighs
I know you're looking for the shoreline
In your mind

I'd love to help you find that shoreline
In our time
