distant shore

Every day I swim an ocean
Fightin your memory like endless waves
Ive surrendered to the truth, Ill always love you
But I know someday
Im gonna reach the banks of a distant shore
Where I wont miss you anymore

Once in a while Ill ride the river
Of whiskey wishes from an old shot glass
But the way it used to be, follows me downstream
So I keep knockin em back
til I reach the distant shore
Where I wont miss you anymore

Someday Im gonna get there
It might take my last prayer

But one these days Im gonna cross that ocean
Some sweet angel will set me free
And theyll tell my story, sing a song about glory
And read Psalm 23
When I reach the banks of that distant shore
Where I wont miss you anymore
Gonna rest my soul in the hands of the lord
Where I wont miss you anymore
