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
