[00:07.982]A small girl is holding a carpenter's hand
[00:11.629]Their eyes are looking down on the sand
[00:18.368]Down on the sand
[00:23.107]Holding a pebble that she's found
[00:26.737]He shows her secrets in this jewel from the ground
[00:33.625]This jewel in the ground
[00:38.425]She sells shells upon the sea shore
[00:41.965]Things slip through her hands so fast
[00:45.168]She won't find love anymore
[00:48.577]Not find love anymore
[00:53.832]The wind tells tales in sails and masts
[00:57.404]The girl's a woman now, her childhood past
[01:03.718]Her childhood's past
[01:09.127]She sells her finds to those who'll buy
[01:12.700]Lends a hand to those who try
[01:19.964]To those who try
[01:24.640]She sells shells upon the sea shore
[01:28.097]Things slip through her hands so fast
[01:31.608]She won't find love anymore
[01:34.669]Not find love anymore
[01:43.943]Winter's fury throws waves ashore
[01:50.526]An unchanged flow of an ancient law
[01:54.344]This ancient law
[01:59.106]Black then gives way to liquid jaws
[02:03.106]Millions of years to settle a score
[02:09.644]They settle a score
[02:14.520]She sells shells upon the sea shore
[02:18.120]Things slip through her hands so fast
[02:24.905]She won't find love anymore
[02:34.594]Not find love anymore
[02:45.086]Walking to a spot she knows
[02:49.252]Where the land has slipped again
[02:55.402]A hammer held tight in her hand
[03:00.205]She works on in the rain
[03:35.758]A lighthouse beam moves into the sea
[03:39.693]She moves the earth so patiently
[03:46.371]So patiently
[03:51.151]A landmark of history she will find
[03:55.026]Her father's face appears in her mind
[04:01.628]He comes to her mind
[04:06.376]She sells shells upon the sea shore
[04:09.895]Things slip through her hands so fast
[04:14.536]She won't find love anymore
[04:16.427]Not find love anymore

A small girl is holding a carpenter's hand
Their eyes are looking down on the sand
Down on the sand
Holding a pebble that she's found
He shows her secrets in this jewel from the ground
This jewel in the ground
She sells shells upon the sea shore
Things slip through her hands so fast
She won't find love anymore
Not find love anymore
The wind tells tales in sails and masts
The girl's a woman now, her childhood past
Her childhood's past
She sells her finds to those who'll buy
Lends a hand to those who try
To those who try
She sells shells upon the sea shore
Things slip through her hands so fast
She won't find love anymore
Not find love anymore
Winter's fury throws waves ashore
An unchanged flow of an ancient law
This ancient law
Black then gives way to liquid jaws
Millions of years to settle a score
They settle a score
She sells shells upon the sea shore
Things slip through her hands so fast
She won't find love anymore
Not find love anymore
Walking to a spot she knows
Where the land has slipped again
A hammer held tight in her hand
She works on in the rain
A lighthouse beam moves into the sea
She moves the earth so patiently
So patiently
A landmark of history she will find
Her father's face appears in her mind
He comes to her mind
She sells shells upon the sea shore
Things slip through her hands so fast
She won't find love anymore
Not find love anymore
