Shell Song Lyrics & Chords By Anne Clark

I fall into blackness
with no stars to guide me
a bottle green sleep
with no one beside me
outside it's cold
a wild wind's blowing
and I've numbed my sole heart
to keep it from knowing
that you, like this night,
like this hour which is passing

My dreams are all filled
with so much emotion
they cause my response,
cause my commotion
true love waits for me
I keep at a distance
a moment passed through us
that was gone in an instant
a moment so strong
it holds on with persistence

Deep in the dark
if I called, would you hear me
the shell by my ear sings its song
though its only the sound of my life
all rushing, and flowing
and a full restless heart
I can't keep from knowing
that you, like this night,
like this hour which is passing
