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
