Little Galt - Beach Glass Lyrics

The cornish skies of port isaac
Cried as the outlaw took aim
His tea just sat there getting cold
While his mother cried out his name
What once had been a paradise
For smuggling and roughneck dreams
Had now become a familiar place
Where the bones still lay by the sea

The tides of life slowly ebb and flow
Or go twice a day by the moon
Their constant movement makes the
Sharpest points go smooth
The see through glass once clear as day
Grows opaque as it's washed by sand
Now your broken bottle's beautiful
Beach glass in my hand

Down there by the frigid sea
The tide it'll raise you ten feet
When it goes out the ship runs aground
And the children flood to the beach
I jumped the wall in a cannonball
They told me I would break my legs
The sand was soft when the lights went off
With a ringing in my head

The tides of life slowly ebb and flow
Or go twice a day by the moon
Their constant movement makes the
Sharpest points go smooth
The see through glass once clear as day
Grows opaque as it's washed by sand
Now your broken bottle's beautiful
Beach glass in my hand

For miles and miles we walked along
With the water on our left
The sun is out and beating down
On what should be cold and wet
Halfway there and turning back
Never know what could've been
Each step here we're going up
Going back feels uphill again

The tides of life slowly ebb and flow
Or go twice a day by the moon
Their constant movement makes the
Sharpest points go smooth
The see through glass once clear as day
Grows opaque as it's washed by sand
Now your broken bottle's beautiful
Beach glass in my hand
Now your broken bottle's beautiful
Beach glass in my hand
