[Verse 1] First light spills across the waterline Glassy reef in shades of jade and brine Every ripple catching threads of gold Morning air, still soft and slow Salt drifts gently through the open space Timber beams warmed by the sun’s embrace Distant waves on the outer reef break low Like a rhythm only we both know You stir quietly beside me there Loose strands tangled in the island air Half awake with a lazy smile Like the day can wait a while [Pre-Chorus] Coffee steam curls into the sky Blending where the colours lie No sharp edges, no demands Just time slipping through our hands [Chorus] We sit where the ocean breathes In a world that moves with ease Every colour slow and true Painted softly over you Crystal shallows, coral below Dancing in the amber glow Nothing loud, nothing to prove Just the tide and how we move [Verse 2] Wooden deck creaks under shifting weight As the sunlight climbs and radiates Tiny fish flicker through the blue Silver flashes breaking through Porcelain cups warm against our skin Bitter notes with the breeze rolled in Your reflection drifting in my view Ocean blending into you Palm leaves whisper overhead Tracing patterns where the light is spread Shadows stretching long and thin As another day begins [Pre-Chorus] Heat arrives without a sound Lifting slowly from the ground No rush pulling us away Just the quiet of the bay [Chorus] We sit where the ocean breathes In a world that moves with ease Every colour slow and true Painted softly over you Crystal shallows, coral below Dancing in the amber glow Nothing loud, nothing to prove Just the tide and how we move [Bridge] And the horizon blurs the line Between the sea and sky’s design No beginning, no clear end Just a place we drift within Time dissolves into the blue Measured only next to you Every second stretched and wide Floating with the turning tide [Break / Instrumental Hook] (Drift… in the light…) (Slow… morning tide…) [Final Chorus] We sit where the ocean breathes In a world that moves with ease Every colour slow and true Painted softly over you Crystal shallows, coral below Dancing in the amber glow Nothing here to rearrange Just a life we never change [Outro] Sun now high, but still we stay Letting hours fade away Lagoon calm, and skies so wide You and me, and the turning tide
