lyrics

I could wait by the sea
Feet dangling off a wall
Overhanging the waves.
And back by the shore
My brother skips stones at the storm
Eyes turned out to the man he could be.
My lover’s afloat
In a reed woven boat
Casts his net out
For life he can’t see.
My mother and father
Step out of the water
Hold eachother
With the force of the sea.

I don’t know how to love you better.
I don’t know how to love you better.
Show me.

In the tidal zone I roam,
Looking for sea glass
Under sea foam.
I’m alone.
A shark washed
Onto the beach
His eyes were red
His skin was clean,
And I prayed
Take him back to the deep.

I don’t know how to love you honest.
I don’t know how to love you honest.
Show me.

Out in the current
We flow, the wind blows
And I swear by the life force
In the tide pools
We’ve grown.
You’ll be in Amsterdam for Christmas I hear.
It really should, it really should be lovely there that time of year.
Do you hear my prayers?

I don’t know how to love you gone.
I don’t know how to love you gone.
I don’t know how to love you gone.
Show me.

I could wait by the sea
Feet dangling
Off a wall
Overhanging the waves.
