HughMontgomery22 - Sea Glass Lyrics

Walking by the sea today
I found a piece of colored glass
What secrets do you hide?
Tell me about your past
What young lover held you so
And wore your sweet perfume
Or was it ale for an old sea salt
Alone in some saloon
Did you hold comfort for the sick
In the waining twilight hours
When empty did you hold a candle
Or a small bouquet of flowers
Tumbling / spinning 'round
Wave after wave would pound
A shattered past, the sharpness wears down
The sea draws back and you are found
Who tossed and broke you?
How did they let go?
Were you no longer needed?
And who told you so?
Knocked over, broken in a fight?
Left you in pieces, wasn't right
Emptied, put on a shelf
Tossed away in the night
Did you think that life was o'er
Tumbling the ocean floor
Could you feel your new beauty as
You washed up on the shore
Tumbling / spinning 'round
Wave after wave would pound
A shattered past, the sharpness wears down
The sea draws back and you are found
The sea draws back and you are found
You may be shattered. May be tossed
Tumble for years feeling lost
You may feel helpless, beaten up
Lost and ready to give out
You may have lost your sense of purpose
But you emerged anew
Once a broken vessel
You now bring joy to someone new
You weren't broken when I found you
If you could see through my eyes
You'd see the sea has shaped you to be
A treasured prize
Tumbling / spinning 'round
Wave after wave would pound
A shattered past, the sharpness wears down
The sea draws back and you are found
The sea draws back and you are found
The sea draws back
And you are found
