[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
