lyrics

you’re gorgeous in the morning light
your hair is wrapped around your neck
i lost my tender heart to you that night
now I have this gorgeous wreck
but I let you bring me gently down
into the softness of your chest
as I wipe the wrinkles from your frown
as we lay our arms to rest

you are beautiful to me
as the rocks reach out to touch the sea
perfect in your broken heart
captain of this sinking ark

though your body lies across the waves
your tears collected in their wake
and though you slumber in a burning bed
i am perfectly awake
be my compass when the winds are rough
be the mermaid on my bow
i’ll be the waves that crash against your bluffs
i’ll wash the saltstains from your brow

i see you dancing by the water’s edge
your eyes reflected in the sea
my broken body lying in your arms
like the branches of a tree
your beauty is the air that fills my lungs
and pumps the water from my chest
my blood will beat the rhythm of your love
until my anchor comes to rest
