Dancing Through the Squall VERSE 1 We slipped out of Hiva Oa With a suitcase full of rain Two shadows on a silver deck And a radio humming strange Your hands were on the wheel, babe Mine were tapping on the rail The ocean wore a midnight grin As the trade winds shook their tail PRE-CHORUS We said, “Kona, keep the porch light on” As the dark came rolling through One little boat, two restless hearts And a sky electric blue CHORUS We’re dancing on the water, water Funking through the foam From Hiva Oa to Kona Trying to make the islands home Squall line snapping like a snare drum Lightning in the blue There’s a hurricane behind us But I’m still riding next to you VERSE 2 The rain came down in sideways chords The mainsail bucked and thunder rolled You laughed into the weather With your hair across your eyes “If the sea wants a showdown, Let’s give it paradise” BRIDGE Hey, hurricane, you can chase us But you can’t steal our song We’ve got salt inside our blood now We’ve been running all night long The stars went out, the wind got loud The whole sea shook its hips You kissed me in the cockpit While the moon slid off the waves like this VERSE 3 By morning, all the thunder Was a bruise along the sky The hurricane was fading Like a bad dream passing by Kona rose beyond the horizon A gold line burning bright Like a promise in the ocean Like a harbor full of light PRE-CHORUS We were wrecked but still electric Salt and diesel, skin and sun Two survivors with a rhythm And a journey just begun CHORUS We’re dancing on the water, water Funking through the foam From Hiva Oa to Kona Now the islands feel like home Squall line fading in the blue The storm is finally through There was a hurricane behind us But I made it here with you OUTRO Tie us up in Kona Harbor Let the warm wind comb our hair We’ll tell the storm it couldn’t catch us We were never going there Two hearts, one boat, a funky wake And a sky we made it through
