The Day We Shook the World

The Day We Shook The World Twas a day on blue beach, in a summer still in reach The blanket hid our shine In water forest green, we washed our wounds clean I stole your scars and made you mine Breathing beneath a tree, in a crowd of you and me Our shadows got the hint Got lost in the eclipse, with the motion of our ships Landing when our wind was spent The evening news said there'd been an earthquake That fallacy made our lip corners, and fingers curl The history books will never know the truth That was the day we shook the world
