Continents Drift

We were new to love when we were young

Lying in our arms, gravity unwinding

Not knowing we were too young to love

And the years passed by in our entwining

And the eastern coast met the western shore

And the masses of land fit just like a glove

And the dawn that came up, moved us to explore

The borders that outlined our love

Continents drift

Across a moonlit ocean

Continents divide

In a glacial measured motion

Continents drift

As foothills move our mountains

Our fault lines are accounted

As our continents divide

We're old hands at love, no longer young

Lying here alone, invisibly unwinding

Believing we needed to be young to love

And the years pass by in our unbinding

And the world presses in and our shorelines change

And the cycle of tides moves us in the darkness

Now the light that comes up on your distant range

From the east casts a shadow between us

Continents drift

Across a moonlit ocean

Continents divide

In glacial measured motion

Continents drift

As foothills move our mountains

Our fault lines are accounted

As our continents divide

Continents drift

Across a moonlit ocean

Continents divide

In glacial measured motion

Continents drift

As foothills move our mountains

Our fault lines are accounted

As our continents divide

Our fault lines are accounted

In glacial measured motion

As foothills move our mountains, mountains

Our fault lines are accounted

As our continents divide
