Story Behind the Song
A simple love song, with a hint of mystery. Many references to my favourite element - water.
Lyrics
When The Coast Is Clear:
Wind will come, winds will blow
Storm will come and storms will go
It doesn’t seem to matter when you’re here
Rain will fall, floods will rise
Clouds reveal the clear, crystal skies
Meet me on the shore when the coast is clear
I’ll see you on the shoreline don’t be late
Have no fear, trust your instincts
Meet me on the shore when the coast is clear
Seas will take and seas will give
Some will sink and some will live
Water turns to water, year to year
Bring your hopes and bring your dreams
What we leave behind is not what it seems
Meet me on the shore when the coast is clear
I’ll see you on the shoreline don’t be sad
You’re the reason I keep living
Meet me on the shore when the coast is clear
I’ll see you on the shoreline don’t be late
Have no fear, trust your instincts
Meet me on the shore when the coast is clear
(Words and music written by Diarmuid Toman, in Auckland, New Zealand, 2000)
