Lyrics

When the seashells crumbled in your hand
You looked up up at me
And the sands shifting underneath your feet
Softened for you and incredibly 
The sun withdrew from the sky
And I was certain I was going to cry

But then you reached up and you reached out
We'd been staring at the water all day
And then you touched me; you were golden
You were giving the game away

When the sand crabs ran across your face
You didn't even twitch
And a salt scent came across the water
Impossibly rich
Impossibly cold
We were just nineteen years old

And then you reached up and you reached out
We'd been staring at the water all day
And then you touched me; you were golden
You were giving the game away
