lyrics

We sat on the beach and watched the mountains rise up from the sea
Watched the clouds above and trees sprout up before our eyes
They didn’t believe that we had been there from the start
So they called it luck, said we were just in the right place, the right time

But they were so blind, and we know it was more like the right state of mind

The waves crashing upon the shore
Painted a picture there in time
And it was framed by cliffs on three sides
And encroached upon the other by the rising tide

They couldn’t be what we were
Because they didn’t have the vision or the time
They could never see what we saw
Because their eyes were not adjusted to the light

But it was so fine, sparkling beneath the wild sun

The memory of what we found
Still sends a shiver down my spine
Cuz it was pulsating with a luminescent shine
In perfect time with the waves of the rising tide

The tide is coming in, I think we may have found something here come check it out my friend
The tide is coming in, this is something we might never see again it’s changing with the wind
The tide is coming in, I think we may have found something here sparkling in sunshine
The tide is coming in, this is something we might never see again so gather round and drink it in
