I Could Be Nothing

It goes on forever along the shoreline It never will end on the shores of my mind I travel along'til the sleep takes me in Where have I ended, where do I begin? Sand blankets are littered with stones whipped across Dead things in the water, forgotten or lost The branches have surfaced and now they are lean The trees have washed up here Stripped bare, and washed clean The waves kiss and gently caress on the shore Kissing and winking, and calling for more The waves like wagging tongues do adore And whisper there softly to the sand on the shore You would be nothing without me I could be nothing Said the waves to the sand I could be nothing without you Each ones shifts and weakens a little Neither aware just how much they are brittle Each one shifts and weakens a bit Allowing the other to live and exist O water and patience, pressure and time Cuts through the faces of rocks we have climbed The army of kisses, the lake never tires The kisses that can put out all of my fires You could be nothing without me I could be nothing Said the waves to the sand I could be nothing without you Without you, I would be nothing Without me, you could be nothing Said the waves to the sand I could be nothing without you --- I Could Be Nothing - Great Lake Swimmers
