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
