This Ain't a Surfin' Movie
Echoes of Love and Time: A Shoreline Tale
Lyrics
When I turned the page
Reflects a moment of transition or change.
The corner bent into a perfect dog-ear
The physical act of marking a page, suggesting importance or a desire to return to that point.
As if the words knew I'd need them again,
Belief in the relevance or significance of the written words for future use.
But at that time I couldn't see it.
Initial inability to recognize the importance of those words.
I would read that page everyday for the next year.
Repeatedly revisiting a specific piece of information, possibly seeking understanding or guidance.
She sang a short tune.
A moment of musical expression that captivates or influences.
And I came from her soft touch and slept.
Being comforted and soothed by someone's gentle touch.
We sat on a shoreline watching wind scalp the white off the waves.
Observing nature's powerful impact on the environment.
Sitting on a shoreline, and if I could do it, I'd dog-ear this page.
Desire to preserve or remember the current moment or experience.
We spoke about growing old and filling the future's empty stage.
Discussing the future and the role they'll play in it.
I hope the weather holds,
Wishing for favorable conditions or circumstances.
But you don't need the sun to make you shine.
Assuring someone of their inherent brightness or positivity.
These island towns don't care for city folk,
Recognition of cultural differences between small towns and cities.
But I think we can starve the city from our minds.
Belief in their ability to detach from urban life and its influences.
I know we won't want for much,
Confidence in having the essentials for contentment.
It's just me and you and a bed and a shoreline.
Emphasis on simplicity and togetherness in a natural setting.
