"Ancient Shores"

Many battles have been fought,

On shores just like this;

Some were fought for land to gain,

Some were for a kiss.

Now we stand where ocean’s breeze

Speaks a subtle line;

It says if we can remain strong,

Together we will find…

CHORUS

Storms will rise and waves will fall,

Of this we can be sure;

Holding tight, we’ll always fight

On life’s ancient shores.

Hand in hand, we’ll conquer all,

That time has yet in store;

Through dark or light, we’ll always fight,

For love’s ancient shores.

Tales are told about the men,

Who only fought for fame;

They gave their lives for a crown,

And some for a king’s name.

Here we are where we can make

An everlasting stand;

Whatever battles life will bring,

Together always can.

CHORUS

Storms will rise and waves will fall,

Of this we can be sure;

Holding tight, we’ll always fight

On life’s ancient shores.

Hand in hand, we’ll conquer all,

That time has yet in store;

Through dark or light, we’ll always fight,

For love’s ancient shores.

[BRIDGE]

As we age, we’ll write the page,

Forever etched in time;

Trials came, but we’re the same -

I’m still your’s, and you’re still mine.

CHORUS

Storms will rise and waves will fall,

Of this we can be sure;

Holding tight, we’ll always fight

On life’s ancient shores.

Hand in hand, we’ll conquer all,

That time has yet in store;

Through dark or light, we’ll always fight,

For love’s ancient shores.

[Vs1]

When we were kids you told me one day I'd be your queen;

You'd build me a castle from your grandma's pine tree;

You laughed and chased the butterflies then gave them all to me...

Then I told you,

What you wanted to hear...

CHORUS 1

All I need's a little whisper,

A little love song in my ear;

Wanna feel your running heartbeat,

Beat on mine...Beating here...

All I need's a gentle whisper,

As you pull me close and near;

You'll feel my love surrender,

Given up...Given here -

A whisper ... 

[Vs2]

I moved away, you followed me like Mississippi rain;

The years have flowed by slowly but you have never changed;

Now everything I see in you is what our son became...

I still tell you,

What you love to hear...

CHORUS 2

All I needed was your whisper,

A little love song in my ear;

And feel your running heartbeat,

Beat on mine...Beating there...

All I wanted was your whisper,

As you pulled me close and near;

You felt my love surrender,

Given up...Given there -

A whisper ... 

[BRIDGE]

This castle we made's not from any ole wood -

We made it by love and trust and all that we should;

And we are making love stronger -

Than we thought we could...

CHORUS 3

All we need's a little whisper,

A little love song in our ears;

And feel our running heartbeats,

Beating loud and beating clear;

All we need's a silent whisper,

As we pull real close and near;

We'll feel our love surrender,

Given up...Given there -

A whisper ... 

OUTRO

Just a whisper

A tiny little whisper

[Vs1]

I still recall us throwing stones at tired rusty cars –

Lonely highway coffins at the back of Joe's junkyard –

Those autumn skies bore streaks of flame,

That blew a warming breeze;

It whispered through your hair each night,

We'd sneak behind Oak trees.

CHORUS

That old jukebox still plays songs,

When passion fills the air –

Let’s start a new tomorrow now,

And see what song is there…

[Vs2]

The sands have fallen swiftly but your eyes are still the same –

Our feelings were like voiceless ghosts and we both share the blame –

We could have had it all back then,

But then just slipped away;

Tonight is begging for a chance,

To bring a brand new day.

CHORUS

That old jukebox still plays songs,

When passion fills the air –

Let’s start a new tomorrow now,

And see what song is there…

[BRIDGE]

Hold on tight – we’ll ride all night,

There’s more just up ahead…

CHORUS 2

That old jukebox plays our songs,

When passion fills the air –

Let’s start a new tomorrow now,

And see what song is there…

Let’s hold and dance – we can’t be wrong,

If we were right back then –

That old jukebox can bring us back,

To start it all again.
