Bay of Palms（バージョン2）

Verse 1

Rope burns sweet on a cedar rail

Sunlight fading on a canvas sail

You crack a coconut against the stone

Sweeter than anything I’ve ever known

Bare feet dangling in the turquoise foam

Forgetting every road that leads back home

Pre-Chorus

Tide pulls soft on the coral line

Tell me how your shoulder leaned to mine

Chorus

Down in the bay of palms

Warm green water and the wind so calm

I held my ground till I let you in

Now the current catches on my skin

Caught in the bay of palms

Verse 2

Silver mullet jump across the wake

Every promise that I didn’t make

Sticky mango on your fingertips

Salt and citrus on the curve of your lips

Anchor dropped in seven fathoms deep

This is a secret that the water keeps

Pre-Chorus

Tide pulls soft on the coral line

Tell me how your shoulder leaned to mine

Chorus

Down in the bay of palms

Warm green water and the wind so calm

I held my ground till I let you in

Now the current catches on my skin

Caught in the bay of palms

Bridge

I built my walls out of heavy stone

Learned how to make it on the wire alone

Now all that iron turns to copper sand

Drifting right out through an open hand

Chorus

Down in the bay of palms

Warm green water and the wind so calm

I held my ground till I let you in

Now the current catches on my skin

Caught in the bay of palms
