Down By The Shore

DOWN BY THE SHORE
©Jack Hoban
Fall 1994

Destiny, meeting you was that for me
Golden youth, the luck of a fool
Oh how we danced, whirling our lives away
Oh how we loved, down by the shore

Holding you, could make a dream come true
Flashing eyes, no perception of time
Me kissing you, was like a miracle
You kissing me, down by the shore

Down by the shore
We lost our innocence
The arrogant confidence
Of a long summer's night
Down by the shore
We knew the sands would shift
Yet set our hearts adrift
They sailed out of sight

Seasons change, so uncontrollably
One day it's spring, the next the leaves fall
I glimpse the light, of an open bar
And I wait for you, down by the shore
