Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ramblin', where to begin?
I tasted summer on your peppery skin
Been saved, the warmer the waves
I felt a slip into a watery grave
[Verse 2]
My girl, linen and curls
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
She's grand, the bend of her hand
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
[Verse 3]
And summer arrives
With a length of light
And summer blows away
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave
[Verse 4]
Waylaid, the din of the day
Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay
In deep, far beneath
All the dead sailors, slowly slipping to sleep
[Verse 5]
My girl, linen and curls
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
She's grand, the bend of her hand
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
[Verse 6]
And summer arrives
With a length of light
And summer blows away
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave
