On Distant Shores Lyrics by Treebeard

Stars Over Somber Skies

2013

[Verse 1: Alex Kelly]
Summer's golden kiss
Can't save my memory
Dancing on the edge of infinity
If I could stop the moon in the sky
I'd dance in and around its circles with you
Seven suns colliding
This world, this girl
Mean everything to me

[Chorus: Matt Cole & Alex Kelly]
This can't be happening
I've told you over and over again
I can't do this on my own
My only wish is that my waves will meet your shore
How could you ask this of me?
I'm losing my grip
Our cause can't be hopeless

[Verse 2: Alex Kelly & Matt Cole & Alex Kelly]
The last day on earth spent
Lying in the garden next to you
The way that it felt
Summers air full with farewells
At the feet of alabaster guardians
We slowly dance for rain
Forget the path that leads us home
(We meet at the kiss and I melt away)

[Chorus: Matt Cole & Alex Kelly]
This can't be happening
I've told you over and over again
I can't do this on my own
My only wish is that my waves will meet your shore
How could you ask this of me?

[Bridge: Alex Kelly & Matt Cole]
And on the broken mountain
As the gates crash down
My father's ghost laughs into the wind and fire
Consumed now his ethereal form
Will burst, will burst into a cloud of lights

[Chorus: Alex Kelly & Matt Cole]
This can't be happening
I've told you over and over again
I can't do this on my own
My only wish is that my waves will meet your shore
How could you ask this of me?
This can't be happening
I've told you over and over again
I can't do this on my own
My only wish is that my waves will meet your shore
How could you ask this of me?
