Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Shadows stretch across the floor Samba rhythms at the door Nylon strings begin to hum Waiting for the night to come Bahia sun is sinking low Watching how the colors go [Pre-Chorus] Your linen shirt upon the chair Traces of the salt still there I can hear the distant sea Whispering a melody [Chorus] It was a gentle tide With nowhere left to hide Breezy and light Before the night You were a summer daydream Flowing like a silver stream Now the water's gone But the song lives on [Post-Chorus] Salt and linen Soft beginning Gentle tide Nowhere to hide [Verse] Notebooks filled with ocean deep Secrets that the corals keep You counted every rising wave In that quiet way you gave Blue ink on your sun-kissed hand Writing stories in the sand [Pre-Chorus] Half-full coconut on the wood Everything was understood I can hear the distant sea Whispering a melody [Chorus] It was a gentle tide With nowhere left to hide Breezy and light Before the night You were a summer daydream Flowing like a silver stream Now the water's gone But the song lives on [Bridge] Muted brass begins to play As the golden turns to gray No more words are left to say Love is just a holiday Lingering in sensory ways Lost inside the velvet haze [Verse] The porch is empty, still and warm After the soft and quiet storm A marine ghost in the foam Finding where the currents roam I don't mind the empty space I can still see your face In the ripple of the bay As the light fades away [Chorus] It was a gentle tide With nowhere left to hide Breezy and light Before the night You were a summer daydream Flowing like a silver stream Now the water's gone But the song lives on [Post-Chorus] Salt and linen Soft beginning Gentle tide Nowhere to hide Salt and linen World is spinning Gentle tide By my side [Outro]
