Back to the Blue

You and I were just a whisper

Summoned by the closest star

We were everything and nothing

Together and apart

Rising on the wind like laughter

From a body traced by sand

An echo in a seashell

And a sailor's best friend

Then we go

On our own into danger

In the rain

We pretend to be strangers

Someday we’ll both forget 'bout you and me

When we return to the sea

A strange descent remembering what we knew

On our way back to the blue

Remember we were just a ripple

Reaching towards the harbor's edge

Never asking where this wave stops and the ocean begins

Gathered up one misty morning

Lifted to the clouds that call

Time just billows by

And then - we fall

Then we go

On our own into danger

In the rain

We pretend to be strangers

Someday we’ll both forget bout you and me

When we return to the sea

A strange descent remembering what we knew

On our way back to the blue

You’re the minutes and the hour

You're the pedals and the flower

The small wave and the big sea

The little steps that make the mile

And the high that lifts the smile

And if you feel this come and smile with me

Round and round again and around and round again

And right back to the ocean like the sun comes down

Round and round again and around and round again

And round and round we go

When we return to the sea

On our way back to the blue
