Help Me Not Be Foreign

I want to know you

I see the sparkle on your skirt

You turn away from him

And your eyes catch mine

They are the ocean
I can see it in your eyes

You turn away from me

 

You hold the water of the night in your arms

And you dance with the ocean like it burns

You

 

I want to taste you

I see the glitter in your eyes

You turn away from him

And your lips catch mine

They are the ocean

I can taste it in your kiss

You turn away from me

 

You hold the water of the night in your arms

And you dance with the ocean like it burns

You

 

I am a boat

Stranded on the shore of your dreams

I am a man

I have ridden through the night across the seas

 

I want to know you

Help me not be foreign to your mind

You know I love you

So tell me that you’ll always be mine

 

Just let me hold you

Feel the fire on your skin
You turn away from me

And your arms catch the sea

You are the ocean

I can feel it in your touch

As you burn me

 

(really low, quiet)
I hold the water of the night in my arms

And I dance with the ocean as it burns
