lyrics

The air is warm and rippling
The waves wear halos of spray
I am so thankful
I am thankful
When I was sleeping on the line of the shore
You woke me up, you helped me see more

Me and Molly feelin the earth beneath our feet
Shadows on our breasts
Tossin our clothes in the quarry
We don’t need them now weighing us down
We don’t need them now

How bout we make songs and laughter
with the voices we find together ?
How bout with pieces of the sky and earth we make a necklace?

If you are seeking far beyond the line of the shore
I’ll swim beside you til you find what you’re looking for

Me and Molly feelin the earth beneath our feet
Shadows on our breasts
Tossin our clothes in the quarry
We don’t need them now weighing us down
We don’t need them now

Light at the center of the sea
Hand on your heart
You see me
Minerals evolve, flowers bloom
Hand on my heart
I see you

Light at the center of the sea
Hand on your heart
You see me
Minerals evolve, flowers bloom
Hand on my heart
I see you

Hand on my heart
I see you
