Released as B-side of "I Can't Dance" single, 1991.Well there's a place where two worlds collideThe pile of stone against the pull of the tideYou can stay with your feet on the groundOr step into the water, leave the dry behindOn the shorelineMeet me on the shorelineWhere you can only swim if you tryWell, if there's somewhere on the other sideIt might be better, it might be as badSomeday soon you'll have to make a moveCos you can't stay forever, ah just waitingOn the shoreline (on the shoreline)Meet me on the shoreline (on the shoreline)Take me over, lead me throughWell can you take me there, to the other sideWhere everything is new, uncertain and strangeDon't ever let me go till we're thereI don't know what it is I'm looking forAnd until it's found I won't be sure...Well, there are squares in the game of lifeWhen you can keep on moving or turn asideYes, there are times when you have to decideTo put your feet in the water, or stayOn the shoreline (on the shoreline)Meet me on the shoreline (on the shoreline)Where you can only swim if you tryI'll be there - ohOn the shoreline (on the shoreline)I'll be there on the shoreline (on the shoreline)Where you can only swim if you tryI'll be thereI'll be there - ohYes, I'll be there
