[Verse 1] Red hair in the gust Like a flag at rest Freckles on your cheeks Sun gold on your chest Dark coat over white Held by the salt air One hand at your side One hand in your hair [Pre-Chorus] You look at the edge Like you know your name Not asking the sea To carry the flame You keep standing there With that quiet grace Like the whole wide world Could learn from your face [Chorus] I watch you shine On the cliffside I watch you shine And I feel alive Blue-green eyes Holding the last light Blue-green eyes I could stay here all night [Verse 2] Grey-green water turns Far below your boots The horizon leans And it still feels true Your coat takes the ache Of the evening chill You wear it like You were born to still Not a word from you But you say enough Every small breath Feels honest and tough [Pre-Chorus] You look at the edge Like you know your name Not asking the sea To carry the flame You keep standing there With that quiet grace Like the whole wide world Could learn from your face [Chorus] I watch you shine On the cliffside I watch you shine And I feel alive Blue-green eyes Holding the last light Blue-green eyes I could stay here all night [Bridge] Violet overhead Amber on the line Something in your stillness Feels close to mine You are not breaking You are becoming Like the tide below Forever humming [Chorus] I watch you shine On the cliffside I watch you shine And I feel alive Blue-green eyes Holding the last light Blue-green eyes I could stay here all night [Outro] [Sax Solo] I watch you shine I watch you shine Blue-green eyes In the last light
