You Be the Tide, I'll Be the Bay - Alternate Mix Lyrics

[00:13.74] I know it's been said before
[00:18.59] But the sea can sound so deliciously cool
[00:21.93] While compounding your ears with a deafening roar
[00:28.38] It never replies
[00:30.51] Like a fool in a play
[00:34.76] You can get it to say anything that you want it to say
[00:43.35] Whisper and listen, listen
[00:46.56] Kiss me, old man
[00:49.72] Rock me and wash me away
[00:56.35] Breathing and weaving
[00:58.53] You're a salty old man
[01:03.02] You be the tide and I'll be the bay
[01:11.33]
[01:17.04] Come stay with me for a few weeks
[01:22.50] The winter's up there, aren't especially cold
[01:25.80] I'll warm up your hands, put a rose in your cheeks
[01:31.21] And you'll feel so content
[01:33.92] Like the cat with the cream
[01:37.93] And I'll get you to mean what I want you to mean
[01:46.69] Whisper and listen, listen
[01:49.48] Kiss me, old man
[01:52.87] Rock me and wash me away
[01:59.25] Breathing and weaving
[02:01.60] You're a salty old man
[02:05.63] You be the tide and I'll be the bay
[02:14.06]
[02:47.44] And then as I finally laid there in your arms
[02:52.46] Forgetting the things I remembered to say
[02:55.59] 'Cause I'm feeling so safe and surrounded with calm
[03:01.28] You'll be shining like a pin when it's new
[03:07.90] The words will be doing what I told them to do
[03:16.79] Whisper and listen, listen
[03:19.66] Kiss me, old man
[03:22.84] Rock me and wash me away
[03:29.19] Breathing and weaving
[03:31.79] You're a salty old man
[03:35.63] You be the tide and I'll be the bay
[03:45.70] You be the tide and I'll be the bay
[03:58.37]
