Stay a Little by the Water

[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
