The Eternal Shore Part 1 by Ragon Linde
The Eternal Shore Part 1
[Intro]
C
[Verse]
C G
She lived in a small house by the shore.
Dm Am
I was in love. I was in love.
C G
I came to visit her. We walked along the shore, listening to the
Dm Am
waves. Sometimes we talked,
C G
sometimes we didn't need to talk. We took turns cooking, and at
Dm Am
night, when we fell asleep, our future was bright
C G Dm
and our dreams were intertwined and promised a life of happiness
Am
and understanding.
Em Am
There were times when we went for a drive.
Em Fmaj7
Her dog loved to come along.
Em Am
We would disembark in one of the nearby parks.
C
The sun,
G
the rain,
Dm
the green grass,
Am
the falling leaves
Fmaj7
all of these things welcomed us.
Cmaj7
The world was a stage built just for the two of us.
Fmaj7
We knew we were safe.
Cmaj7
And nothing could hurt us.
E F G
I remember the hours we spent by the fire. Watching the flames, with their
Am Dm
eternal life of motion, their ability to improvise a myriad of scenes from the
Am Dm Am
past and the future. The nights would get quite cold, but we felt protected
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 G
in the small circle of warmth that we had built for ourselves.
G
Finally, she invited me to stay. “You don't have to leave,” she said.
G
“What’s the point? Aren't you happy here with me?” “Yes, I am,” I replied.
G
I was truly happy.
Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7
[Open D drone through this section]
Dm7 G7
A few idyllic months followed. But oh, the strange, contradictory
Bb Dm
way in which we are built!
Dm7 G7
Some time passed, and I began to miss the city.
Bb Dm
I was accustomed to its noises, its never-ending bustling life.
Dm7 G7
Sometimes the sound of cars in the distance woke me at night
Bb Dm7
and then I realized it was the ocean, that gray foamy giant that kept watching us while we slept.
Amaj7 Gmaj7
The ocean was busy making its own long-term plans,
Amaj7 Gmaj7
ones that it had thousands of years to fulfill.
Fmaj7 Gmaj7
It didn't share its plans. When it talked, it spoke in a different
Amaj7 Gmaj7
language. I didn't understand its words.

Sometimes I feel that she did. And she would look at me with
F G A F G A
sadness, knowing that death and loneliness were built into us
F G A F G A
from our birth, with their inevitable collection of farewells.
A F
Perhaps she let me go before I realized I had to go?
A F G
And finally the day came when I knew I couldn't stay.
A F G A F G
I invited her to come along. But I didn't think she would.
A F
“I’ll wait for you,” she said.
G A
“I’ll be back,” I promised.
