The Waterline from The Waterline by Andy Nixon

We must have walked a thousand miles or more
Leaving footprints in the sand
We laid our history out along the shore
Where the water meets the land

And our story unfolds as we head to the waterline

Watch the lone majestic black winged gull
Lord of all that he surveys
See the perfect outline of his sole
Melt beneath that seventh wave

And our story unfolds as we head to the waterline
And our history flows when we walk along the waterline

The pull of the open sea
The quest for the only key
The shipwrecks that failed to see
The warning signs below the water line

Watching boats sail into harbour
See what the graving dock will find
Out of reach below the water
Out of sight and out of mind

And they’re sailing to fail living life above the waterline
And our story unfolds as we head to the waterline
And our history flows like a river in flood
Like our hearts pumping blood
Watching Mercury rise
Through the numbers to the waterline line
