Lyrics Distant Shore - Karen Elson

Distant Shore

I watched you slip through my fingers
I saw the ship change course
And out in the waves your spirit lingers
As the ghosts rise up from the sea
Now my heart feels different
Shores between so distant
I am alone, I am free
No one’s come and conquer me
Out in the waves, cast out to sea
You slip away from me
Sometimes I’m lost in a daydream
I’m trailing off to God knows where
The waters were still and I could see
The borders of your land
Now my heart feels different
Shores between so distant
I am alone, I am free
No one’s come and conquer me
Out in the waves, cast out to sea
You slip away from me
From me
From me
You slip away from me
You slip away from me
You slip away from me
