Low Tide

Everybody's sleeping now except for you and me
I don't even wanna know what time it's gotta be
We could lie here talking till the milk trucks make their rounds
We could lie here listening to the earth spinning round
We could lie here dreaming, so smug and satisfied
Breathing like the ocean and smelling like low tide

Low tide, stay here beside me
Lying entwinеd with the windows open wide
Low tidе, sweeter than desire
Sleeping like a fire when the flames have died
Low tide

Low tide, spent and contented
Easy to please, just as long as you are by
You leave me salty as the [swell softened] caramel in July
Low tide

The tide goes out
There's nothing left to doubt
There's nothing left to guess
All of the questions have been answered
All of the answers were "Yes"
Yes, yes

Low tide, settle and sigh
Dear, everything shines when the restlessness subsides
Like seaglass cast up with the spring
The edges smoothed away and [simplified]
Low tide

Low tide, stay here beside me
Lying entwined with the windows open wide
Low tide, sweeter than desire
Sleeping like a fire when the flames have died
Low tide
Low tide
Low tide
