by the shore, by the sea Flush the weary light of saviors Against a cheek so emblazened with divide The starlight of peasants and paupers Engraving paths into the gray of tides Where footsteps sink into the mercy Heaven thick with hope and sand The shore of worlds standing At the pulpit Where attention lears into the grand Enshrined like clever mourning Weeps endowed with lifted hand Sorrow like the dove Of counted souls Who fare in shadows longing And burn quietly into the end Their fables small and bound Elegant and wide for searchlights Driven high And tantamount to frail beginnings And ever stated ends

By the Shore, By the Sea
by the shore, by the sea Flush the weary light of saviors Against a cheek so emblazened with divide The starlight of peasants and paupers Engraving paths into the gray of tides Where footsteps sink into the mercy Heaven thick with hope and sand The shore of worlds standing At the pulpit Where attention lears into the grand Enshrined like clever mourning Weeps endowed with lifted hand Sorrow like the dove Of counted souls Who fare in shadows longing And burn quietly into the end Their fables small and bound Elegant and wide for searchlights Driven high And tantamount to frail beginnings And ever stated ends
