The moon hangs above my head like it could drop
On a beach in late July, counting every star that's died
Distance is disease, where the ocean ends we'll drop
Drawing dreams in endless sand, take my head for your hand
I could sink my ship into your skin
But I move like the summer wind
Two chasers chasing someday
I'll meet you in the next life babe, babe, babe
Clouds closing in pollute our perfect sky
Watch you laugh until you cry tears of rum and rye
That freckle faced phantom you watched running down the bay
Every day she'll fade in a sea of August rain
You could sink your ship into her skin
But you move like the summer wind
Two chasers chasing someday
I'll meet you in the next life babe, babe, babe
So walk away, away, away
Midnight fries, rose coloured eyes
That song that always made me cry, taxi rides
Purple nights, you said you saw me in the lights
Wine stained sheets
Every dream that this earth will never see
We could sink our ship into her skin
Laugh and love in perfect sin
Two chasers chasing someday
I'll meet you in the next life babe, babe, babe
So walk away, away, away
Oh won't I see you next time babe
