Seven Shades of Blue

wanna hold you now
 And listen to you breathe
 It's like the ocean's sound
 Whispering through the trees
 In the hollow of your shoulder
 There's a tidepool of my tears
 Where the waves came crashing over
 And the shoreline disappeared
 Oh, baby, close your eyes
 Fly back there with me
 To where the phosphor shines
 Green flashlights from the sea
 And our nets were full of soft shells
 And our hearts were free from toil
 And we made love on the kitchen table
 Until the water reached a boil
 We hold it all for a little while, don't we
 Kiss the dice
 Taste the rain like little knives upon our tongues
 We can do no wrong when the lights go on
 And the music plays
 And we take the stage like we own the place
 As if time were cheap and the night forever young
 So let them turn my soul
 Seven shades of blue
 And with the ocean's roar
 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 dice
 Taste the rain like little knives upon our tongues
 We can do no wrong when the lights go on
 And the music plays
 And we take the stage like we own the place
 As if time were cheap and the night forever young
