Letra de 'Shell And Shore' de Jess Klein

I got out of my bed
I wrote a letter down
Was missing several words
But I could hear their sound

I didn't know who I
Would send the letter to
But their upon my step
Strange man with eyes of blue

I went back to my desk
I wrote six letters more
Stories about a shell
Washed upon a shore

And when it opens up
Will you be there
Cause when it opens up
From it's armor it's scared
Will you be there

I thought about the way
He stood so patient with
My fightin' trembling hands
My traps and all my tricks

But then it bubbled up
The endless well of doubt
He'd see all I had done
Figure the whole thing out

And when it opens up
Will you be there
Cause when it opens up
From it's armor it's scared
Will you be there

And all the times it's bled and all the times it's lied
The ways that it's been led and all the times it's tried To get on without love and keep killing time Meanwhile this precious heart was shrivelling up inside

I write a letter down
I'm missing several words
But if you hear their sound
Some way I've never heard

I'll seal it with my hands
I'll press it to your heart
It's more than I can stand
But maybe that's a start

And when it opens up
Will you be there
Cause when it opens up
From it's armor it's scared
Will you be there
