[Verse] Some friends came by After we got home Coming from Daytona Back to Boca Raton We were both tired It had been a perfect day But our visitors, I think Were planning to stay We all decided to go get something to eat It was 8:30, our cafe was right up the street The waitress knew us Brought the menu slow We laughed about traffic and where not to go Coffee cups steam by the window glass Everybody talking while the night went past No one was ready to call it done So we paid the check and walked as one [Chorus] Down by the water, shoes in our hands Two couples leaning into the wind and sand Your sweater pulled tight, my arm around you The moon on the waves kept breaking in two A little cold air, a long way home Your gorgeous red hair blows across my face Then that beautiful smile, quickens my hearts pace Four sets of footprints and two quiet hearts And two quiet hearts [Verse] The cafe lights shrank behind the street We crossed A1A with tired feet Palm trees bent like they knew the tune Cars rolled by under a thin white moon They walked ahead and fell behind Trading small jokes by the ocean line You looked at me and smiled that way saving another piece of our perfect day The wind came sharp off the open blue I gave my jacket back to you We talked about nothing and nothing was fine Just your hand still folded in mine [Chorus] Down by the water, shoes in our hands Two couples leaning into the wind and sand Your sweater pulled tight, my arm around you The moon on the waves kept breaking in two A little cold air, a long way home Your gorgeous red hair blows across my face Then that beautiful smile, quickens my heart's pace Four sets of footprints and two quiet hearts And two quiet hearts [Verse] By the lifeguard stand, we all slowed down No big goodbye, no standing around They turned north and we turned south Salt on our faces, sleep in our mouths You said that was nice and I said yeah The kind of night you don't plan anywhere Just a day that didn't want to end A beach, a breeze, a couple of friends [Chorus] Down by the water, shoes in our hands Two couples leaning into the wind and sand Your sweater pulled tight, my arm around you The moon on the waves kept breaking in two A little cold air, a long way home Your gorgeous red hair blows across my face Then that beautiful smile, quickens my heart's pace Four sets of footprints and two quiet hearts And two quiet hearts [Outro] We headed back under balcony lights Past closed up shops and bikes locked tight Daytona behind us, Boca ahead Wind in our hair And the long day spent
