[Verse 1] Sun dips in the glass Salt on my skin Your hand on my waist The night rolling in Paper cup ice melts Slow in the heat Bare feet on the deck Soft under me [Pre-Chorus] Hold me a little longer Before it slips away One more song by the water Let the whole week fade [Chorus] Lantern tide Keep me here Lantern tide Warm and clear Lantern tide Take the edge away We can stay We can stay [Verse 2] Music from the bar Drifts through the palms You laugh with your eyes I fall in the calm Motorboats are gone Moon on the foam Weekend in the dust But I’m not alone [Pre-Chorus] Hold me a little longer Before it slips away One more song by the water Let the whole week fade [Chorus] Lantern tide Keep me here Lantern tide Warm and clear Lantern tide Take the edge away We can stay We can stay [Bridge] Take the long way home Past the sleepy shore Leave the world behind Let it ask for more [Final Chorus] Lantern tide Keep me here Lantern tide Warm and clear Lantern tide Till the morning breaks We can stay We can stay
