Where the Small Waves Come and

[Verse 1]
You left your blue coat on the chair
Salt dried pale along the seam
I found a shell beside the stairs
Still holding half a summer dream

[Chorus]
Let the tide take what it can
Let the breeze unfasten land
I’ll be here where the gulls wheel low
While the small waves come and go

[Verse 2]
The harbor ropes tap against the mast
A kettle hums inside the room
Clouds move slowly, shadows pass
And fennel scents the afternoon

[Chorus]
Let the tide take what it can
Let the breeze unfasten land
I’ll be here where the gulls wheel low
While the small waves come and go

[Outro]
Your blue coat waits beside the door
The tide turns softly, nothing more
