[Verse 1] Out past the kelp gate I saw you rise Blue-silver skin And no straight lines You wore the moon Like a broken shell Your eyes were tidepools Falling through my spell You drew your words In a spiral stream On the face of the water A waking dream [Pre-Chorus] Round and round You made me lean Round and round In the undertow green [Chorus] Spiral tide, take me down Spiral tide, turn me round Spiral tide, I hear you sing In that curl, I lose everything [Verse 2] Your mouth was a reef Full of ghosted light Every slow sound Bent the dark to bright You said my name Like a diving bell Then the whole sea folded Under your shell I tried to speak But my bones just rang You answered back With a twisting wave of slang [Pre-Chorus] Round and round You made me stay Round and round Till the shore slipped away [Chorus] Spiral tide, take me down Spiral tide, turn me round Spiral tide, I hear you sing In that curl, I lose everything [Bridge] [Half-time break] Now I drift in your spiral tongue Salt in my mouth And the night so young If you call again I will dive through the seam To be one more echo In your underwater dream [Final Chorus] Spiral tide, take me down Spiral tide, turn me round Spiral tide, I hear you sing In that curl, I lose everything Spiral tide, pull me in Spiral tide, skin to skin Spiral tide, I hear you sing In that curl, I lose everything
