Lyrics
[Intro] [Shell Chime Sound & Shimmering Rhodes Chords]
Shimmer, glow... pink and turquoise mother-of-pearl
The most beautiful colors to unfurl
[Verse 1] [Noah & Melody Alternating]
[Noah] Heavy red abalone shell found in the kelp
[Melody] Needing no other ornament or help
[Noah] Polished mother-of-pearl lining on the inside
[Melody] Holding the rainbow colors of the tide
[Both] Shifting from purple into emerald green
The most luminous treasure we have seen
[Pre-Chorus] [Upright Bass & Brush Snare]
Five breathing holes along the curved shell rim
Where no gloomy outlines can grow dim
[Chorus] [Luminous Iridescent Abalone Drop]
Rainbow iridescence inside the polished abalone shell
More precious than any earthly words can tell
On the rocky terraces of Laguna coast
The simple natural treasure we love most
Hold close, gaze deep, let the colors shine
A masterpiece of oceanic design
[Verse 2] [Felt Piano & Duet Vocal]
[Melody] You hold it up against the sunset ray
[Noah] Ending another gentle coastal day
[Both] We keep this shell upon our mantle wood
Everything in life is right and good
[Bridge] [Nylon Guitar Solo & Duet Vocal Runs]
Oh, silence shells hold the light of heaven
Seven times more precious than eleven
Shells, rainbows, silence and partner true
Finding this treasure next to you
[Chorus] [Full Grand Iridescent Climax]
Rainbow iridescence inside the polished abalone shell
More precious than any earthly words can tell
On the rocky terraces of Laguna coast
The simple natural treasure we love most
Hold close, gaze deep, let the colors shine
A masterpiece of oceanic design
[Outro] [Shell Set Down on Sandstone & Soft Sigh]
Abalone shell...
Mother-of-pearl glow.
[Fade Out]
[End]
