lyrics

You picked up that piece of driftwood and wrote your name in the waves
And watched s the sea forgot you, drowned the lines you engraved
I was there and I'll remember your duffel coat and your wink
I took your hand and led you back to land and we let the letters sink
I'll leave it to the brine that ripples beneath the wind
I may not choose the right three words but the ocean does

We're sleeping nose to nose and I can only see your eyelids
Those thin veiny membranes that keep your dreams shielded
The morning sun crawls its way between our faces
And lights our pours and lights our scars and ignites last night's kisses
I'll leave it to the dust that dances in the light
I may not choose the right three words but the sunshine does

The bedside candle flickering or the flash from a camera
Whatever light splashes on your face seems to shine a little brighter
I greet the air with silence be it light or dark
And harvest all the words I know for my ephemeral art
I'll leave it to the wax that trickles down the wick
I may not choose the right three words but the burning does

After the sun had sunk I creeped back to the beach alone
Rediscovered that piece of driftwood, your disregarded wand
I carved the words 'I love you' deep in the sandy earth
But my famous proclamation was reclaimed by the surf
I can't leave it to the elements of this coastal shelf
I'll have to choose the right three words and use them for myself
