The spray lashes against your skin,
and the moon breaks into mirrors on the waves.
The flame warms, illuminates, your face
and your smile warms my heart.
Oh, for one embrace.
Miles and miles away from port,
out here no laws apply, we'll not get caught.
We sit so close, but not quite touching.
Catch me when the boat starts lurching.
I'm all at sea, I don't know what to do.
Flooded with emotion that will do me no good.
Pour cold water on this raging heat or
let go of your ring and float away with me.
Come hear behind my curtain.
It's dark inside, we don't have to speak a word.
Lie beside me, feel the pitch and roll of the boat,
me finger running down your spine, your lips upon my throat.
We're coming into harbour, so I'll say good bye.
All I'll keep are sweet memories of the sea.
