Seven Shades Of Blue

I 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
