"Scallop," which
is of course a type

00:00:08.140 --> 00:00:12.490 align:middle line:84%
of sea animal with a shell
that you find sometimes

00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:14.290 align:middle line:90%

On a mountaintop, miles from
the sea, we found a shell.

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:28.090 align:middle line:84%

The same that Venus rode on
when she crossed the sea.

00:00:47.530 --> 00:00:53.160 align:middle line:84%
And in the corner, the same pink
as in the corner of your eyes.
