on shells and stones by the water
To find something that was mine
You who walk with me are so far away
I realize there's no further
I look for your face in the sea
Out in the harbor, sail silhouetted
I thought you were coming for me
I reached out to touch you
It wasn't a lie when I called
It starts with a lie after all
I saw you wake, alone in the morning
You opened the window to see
Out in the dark, a storm all around us
Light in the clouds, in the light
standing alone with no shadow at all
Walkin' along over stones
feelin' the wet of the rain
They disappear along with
I reached out to touch you
It wasn't a lie when I called
If it wasn't true when I told you I loved you
It starts with a lie after all
I reached out and touched you
It wasn't a lie when I called
When I told you I loved you
It starts with a lie after all
Yes, it starts with a lie after all
No, it wasn't a lie after all
