Seven Skips

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nDusty floorboards and salt air\nFound a box beneath the stair\nFull of granite and grey slate\nHeld inside a heavy weight\nJust some rocks from the shore\nI don't need 'em anymore\nBut they’re all I have to show\nOf the girl I used to know\n\n[Chorus]\nCount 'em out, one, two and three\nBest part of this life for me\nSunlight caught in messy hair\nLike you didn't have a care\nNow you're three thousand miles away\nBut I still see you there today\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nCount 'em out, one, two and three\nBest part of this life for me\nSunlight caught in messy hair\nLike you didn't have a care\n\n[Verse]\nYou’d pick the flat ones, thin and wide\nWaiting for the turning tide\nYour boots were soaked, your spirit high\nUnderneath that coastal sky\nI’d just sit and smoke my pipe\nWatching every fruit get ripe\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nThe letters come from out West\nWhere the sun goes to rest\nYou say the mountains are grand\nBut do they have this much sand?\n\n[Chorus]\nCount 'em out, one, two and three\nBest part of this life for me\nSunlight caught in messy hair\nLike you didn't have a care\nNow you're three thousand miles away\nBut I still see you there today\n\n[Bridge]\nThe light still turns its heavy head\nCasting gold across my bed\nThe ocean takes what it wants to keep\nWhile the weary sailors sleep\nI kept the stones you threw away\nTo remind me of a better day\n\n[Instrumental]\n\n[Verse]\nFound a bit of sea-worn glass\nWatching all the seasons pass\nYou called me late last Tuesday night\nSaid the city’s glowing bright\nI didn't say I miss the noise\nOf a girl and all her toys\nI just told you to be brave\nAnd remember every wave\n\n[Chorus]\nCount 'em out, one, two and three\nBest part of this life for me\nSunlight caught in messy hair\nLike you didn't have a care\nNow you're three thousand miles away\nBut I still see you there today\n\n[Outro]
