Shrinking Coasts Lyrics
I broke one stick from the tree,
Threw it to the sea.
Ave Maria.
Somehow I convinced myself that it was you who didn't want me.
And on seeing my stick float,
I built a little boat.
Oh, the shrinking coasts.
I set sail with no intention other than to be alone.
And I came upon a land of ice and snow
Where I thought I would let go of you.
But, oh, you know,
I may not be an idiot but with some things I'm so slow.
And in the whisper of the moss, I heard a song of loss,
And so I went to find another sea or ocean I could cross.
And I came upon a great city
That was built up to the shore.
Oh, Lord.
I navigated under all the bridges of New York,
Where I ran into your sister, of course,
And I couldnt' keep it in,
"How's she been?"
Sail on. Sail on, sailor.
Sail on. Sail on, sailor.
Sail on. Sail on, sailor.
Sail on, sailor.
Threw it to the sea.
Ave Maria.
Somehow I convinced myself that it was you who didn't want me.
I built a little boat.
Oh, the shrinking coasts.
I set sail with no intention other than to be alone.
Where I thought I would let go of you.
But, oh, you know,
I may not be an idiot but with some things I'm so slow.
And so I went to find another sea or ocean I could cross.
That was built up to the shore.
Oh, Lord.
I navigated under all the bridges of New York,
Where I ran into your sister, of course,
And I couldnt' keep it in,
"How's she been?"
Sail on. Sail on, sailor.
Sail on. Sail on, sailor.
Sail on, sailor.
