On the Shoreline Songtext

von Genesis

Well, there's a place where two worlds collide,
The pile of stone against the pull of the tide,
You can stay with your feet on the ground
Or step into the water, leave the dry behind.

On the shoreline,
Meet me on the shoreline -
Where you can only swim if you try.

Well, if there's somewhere on the other side
It might be better, it might be as bad.
Someday soon you'll have to make a move,
‘Cos you can't stay forever, oh just waiting.

On the shoreline (On the shoreline.),
Meet me on the shoreline (On the shoreline.).

Take me over, lead me through.

Well, can you take me there, to the other side,
Where everything is new, uncertain and strange,
Don't ever let me go till we're there.
I don't know what it is I'm looking for,
And until it's found I won't be sure.

Well, there are squares in the game of life
When you can keep on moving or turn aside,
Yes, there are times when you have to decide
To put your feet in the water or stay.

On the shoreline (On the shoreline.),
Meet me on the shoreline (On the shoreline.) -
Where you can only swim if you try.

I'll be there, oh.
On the shoreline (On the shoreline.),
I'll be there on the shoreline (On the shoreline.) -
Where you can only swim if you try…
