The shoreline fades beneath the borrowed sky

The waters rise with no one standing by

The ground we knew just quietly slips away

Like doors we left unlocked now closed and shut for days

The damp stillness in the evening air

A fading light just barely shining there

If I could keep one truth before the night

It's knowing you outlast a fading light, outlast a fading light

The warnings came too soft for us to hear

We thought we had more time, we thought more years

The earth gave way and forced us all to flee

Our roads now split by raging stormy seas

Your path led where the sirens scream so loud

While mine was lifted by some distant cloud

If I could know you reached some solid ground

This fear might lose its grip without a sound, might lose without a sound

Our home exists in stories people tell

The coast now marked where ocean currents swell

We live but not the land that held us tight

It sank below while stars still shone so bright

If love remains, it floats without a shore

Still anchored by what mattered from before

I search for signs the waves won't win this war

And call your name above the ocean's roar
