Where You Found Me

from Conscience Calling by Sarah Schonert

/

about

From the other side....

Walking along the beach, you find it. Such a curious little creature. Pearly shell. Lean in close. Listen.... You have a memory. It feels like an echo. Put the creature in your pocket.

lyrics

I am sad to say this shell is the only thing that’s left
Green and pink, pearlescent swirl, sure it’s pretty but it’s dead

I crawled out from the ocean. Made my way along the sand
I was headed toward the city when you put me in your hand

I was dying in your pocket long before
You got me home
I wish that you had left me where you found me

You stopped at all the usual haunts. Had a drink and had a laugh
I was gracious and demure, in the shadow of your friends
You showed me off, your little treasure. Precious token who can sing
Voice was sweet but getting sadder as I thought about the sea

I was dying in your pocket long before
You got me home
I wish that you had left me where you found me

All for lights
Beyond the moon on the waves
I’d be alive
If I’d stayed

You took me up the steps, scraped your key against my cheek
Unlocked a door but all I heard was a metallic sort of creek

Step pause and turn, you pulled me scared out of your coat
That’s where I collapsed upon the floor, clutching madly at my throat

I was dying in your pocket long before
You got me home
I wish that you had left me where you found me
