lyrics

When the summer sets behind the skyline and the cold wind starts blowing through the trees
Like tears of the earth the leaves fall to the ground and the water rolls in from the sea
you can find her there on the shoreline and she whispers oh so softly

She said the seashells are singing
bout the rhythym of the sea
and the waves are all reminders
of the feeling to truly be free

Well the box that she lives in aint heated and tires have no treds
her health is fading like the sunset and here pockets cant afford the meds
and at the shoreline the seashell is calling but she's the only one that hears what it says

She said the seashells are singing
bout the rhythym of the sea
and the waves are all reminders
of the feeling to truly be free
