A
Day With You In Paradise
Sand on your belly and in my
hair
Sun have mercy on skin so fair
Lost in the dunes, there's a break in time
You can take whatever you want of mine
Fill my belly from your mussel bed
Seaweed pillow where I lay my head
Sculpture of sand by the water's end
The mermaid slips into the sea again
Clam shell carving a castle wall
Ducktoller answering a seagull's call
Dive in the waves feel the water's slap
Hear the poppin of your ears and the cold beer cap
Lost my watch and found my way
back to the sound of laughter
A day with you in paradise was all my heart was after
Sea salt mingling mixed with sweat
Evening exodus but not us yet
Driftwood from the high tide mark
A tangle of limbs waiting for a spark
Wind turns tail on the setting sun
Eagle comes searching for the mackeral run
When the tallons sink there's no escape
See the silver fish trying to break his lunch date
Build a fire, neath a waning moon
Old guitar, strumming a new tune
A kiss as soft as a passing note
Three words in the sand that you just wrote
Chorus x 3
