Even in the tiniest shell
A little life that tries to dig into my hand
Scattered cross the sand in yellow, blue and red
Out on Dauphin Island
And long ago there was less metal in the sea
Grampy and me were pulling specks up on the beach
Sandy fish catching their final breath of life
Out on Dauphin Island
The sun is going down
The shrimp boats all come in
But one of these days I know
She's coming to take me
Back to the place
From where I come
The sun is going down
The shrimp boats all come in
But one day soon I know
She's coming to take me
Back to the place
From where I come
But even in the tiniest shell
And lurking underneath the rolling water
Touch my hand to something very deep and old
Out on Dauphin Island
Out on Dauphin Island
Out on Dauphin Island
