Washed To The Shore lyrics

I am a husk My insides have fallen out They lay to decay I am a shell I used to live in the sea But I've since passed away I'll be washed to the shore Good friends don't always know more I want to live by the sea Wash the silt from my shell I owned a house It was all that I worked toward For the past three decades You blessed the sand That the four walls were built upon In a well sheltered bay I'll be carried away It's been a year to the day I want to live by the sea Wash the silt from my shell
