I want to hold you now
and listen to you breathe.
It's like the ocean sounds.
Whispering through the trees.
In the hollow of your shoulder
there's a tide pool
for my tears.
Where the waves came crashing over
and the shoreline disappeared.
Baby close your eyes
and fly back there with me.
To where the phosphor shined.
Green flashlights from the sea.
And our nets were full of soft shells.
Our hearts were free from toil.
We made love on the kitchen table.
Till the water reached the boil.
We hold it all for a little while, don't we?
Kiss the dyes, taste the rain like little
nines upon our tongue.
We can do no wrong when the lights come on and the music plays.
And we take the stage like we own the place.
As if time would cheapen the night for every
hour.
So let them turn my soul.
Seven shades of blue.
And with the ocean's rope
I will
wave to you.
And the birds will sing my laughter.
And the whales will steal my song.
I'll be okay forever after.
And the world will get along.
We hold it all for a little while,
don't we?
Kiss the dyes,
taste the rain like little nines upon our tongue.
We can do no wrong when the lights come on and the music plays.
And we take the stage like we own the place.
As if time would cheapen the night for every hour.
