[Verse 1] The tide leaves silver on the sand A gull turns once above the bay You tuck your sleeves around your hands And watch the boats lean into day
[Chorus] Stay a little by the water Let the morning take its time With the salt wind at our shoulders And the shoreline keeping time
[Verse 2] A green glass bottle catches sun The harbor ropes lift, then fall slack You tell me where the small waves run I trace their paths and bring them back
[Chorus] Stay a little by the water Let the morning take its time With the salt wind at our shoulders And the shoreline keeping time
[Outro] The tide turns softly, blue on blue I leave the last word there with you
