That night we saw the stars together,
and buried our feet in the sand
Saw reflections on the water
Oh, your hands upon my hands!
That night we heard the world expanding
Waves and flames were our music
Orange-red glowing up and under
Oh, your lips upon my lips!
That night we tasted salt and sweet
We swam through ocean, foam, and mist
Clothes left on the shore, forgotten
Oh, your skin upon my skin!
That night was daylight soon enough
As suddenly as birds in flight
Pounding waves and sandy heads
And oh, your eyes not meeting mine.
Oh, your eyes not meeting mine.
