Wavewashed Eyes

You're laughing in the shoreline spray

Writing names in the sand that wash away

And you never look up,

you never look my way

But I'm watching you run through the golden light of day

And you're dreaming of a far-off place

With the saltwater breeze on your face

I see you shining

under coastal skies While you keep searching with those ocean eyes

Looking past the harbor,

looking past the pier

Oh, you're looking for a sign when I am standing right here

(right here)

You're collecting shells along the tide

Keeping all your quiet thoughts inside

I want to tell you how

the sunlight catches your hair

But you walk on by like I'm made of air

Oh, the waves keep crashing down on the shore

And I keep wishing I could tell you more But the wind

just carries my words out to sea

(out to sea)

I see you shining under coastal skies

Yeah, I'm right here

(right here)
