Southern Shore Lyrics - Singles - Roster Mccabe

So we find from far away 

Troubled peoples have sent us here today 

A place where ghosts rest and blood was shed 

Ceremonies in the sand honor the dead 

The dirt feels fine against my feet 

The sun shines bright 

Where sky and water meet 

If you will dry my tears 

I promise Ill dry yours 

So come wade with me along the southern shore 

Water will carry our sins 

And leave them where the current begins 

So far away from us, along the southern shore 

Where cursed ships with sailors float by 

They can never know love 

They cant know our life 

But Ill still drink to life 

And smoke to death 

But its in honor of our last breath 

So well gather here and confess the truth 

Its just an image of what I see in you 

The water can fill our needs 

And keep us strong like the roots of trees 

That plant themselves along the southern shore 

Sun shine fades as clouds roll through 

In our darkest hour, we dont know who to turn to 

With my blood I will pass on all my dreams 

Like the clear fresh water from rivers and streams 

That collect and run off the southern shore 

With the hope my kin wont need anything more 

Than to live and feel the sun on their face 

I trust theyll make it here to this sacred place 

We hold our hearts steady and fast 

But I warn you now, your life will pass 

And we all have our complaints 

But believe me, here, they are nearly the same 

Theyll wash away along the southern shore
