The Sea And The Rhythm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tonight we're the sea and the salty breeze
The milk from your breast is on my lips
And lovelier words from your mouth to me
When salty my sweat and fingertips
Our hands they seek the end of afternoons
My hands believe and move over you
Tonight, we're the sea and the rhythm there
The waves and the wind and night is black
Tonight we're the scent of your long black hair
Spread out like your breath across my back
Your hands they move like waves over me
Beneath the moon, tonight, we're the sea
