I washed up on the beaches of New Smyrna
A shabby shell going out of style
An old man with a walking stick
Looked down at me with a smile
He said you're a little chipped and cracked like me
A fighter right down to the bone
He placed me on the center of his shelf
My house was now a home
Salty breeze whispers your name
Footprints fade in the shifting sand
Memories linger, hold my hand
Everything's gonna be alright
For all the broken shells
Who haven't been the same ever since you left
For all the broken families
With their Skippers out to sea
For those who are lost
To those who are scared
For those left alone
Or left unfulfilled
A song for the broken shells
When I'm cast out to sea
Remember me
Your light is burning out in these final days
Every second with you has only fueled my fire
Although you're gone, I can see your face
Oh, I could never forget that smile
The waves crashed down
And the heavens cried
Now be free, to see, the other side
A brother's voice
A mother's might
Now spread your wings and fly
Salty breeze whispers your name
Footprints fade in the shifting sand
Memories linger, hold my hand
Everything's gonna be alright
For all the broken shells
Who haven't been the same ever since you left
For all the broken families
With their Skippers out to sea
For those who are lost
To those who are scared
For those left alone
Or left unfulfilled
A song for the broken shells
When I'm cast out to sea
Remember me
If I could wind back the clocks, I wouldn't
I have no regrets, I shouldn't
I will never forget you, I couldn't
For all the broken shells
Who haven't been the same ever since you left
For all the broken families
With their Skippers out to sea
For those who are lost
To those who are scared
For those left alone
Or left unfulfilled
A song for the broken shells
When I'm cast out to sea
Remember me
