Let the Whole Coast Spin

[Verse 1] Salt wind threads the morning through the pier Your laugh sends gulls wheeling past the sun Bare feet find the pulse of the boardwalk planks We turn where the blue tide curls and runs [Pre-Chorus] You draw a bright circle in the sand I step inside and take your hand [Chorus] Come on, let the whole coast spin Sea foam at our ankles, summer on our skin Two hearts keeping time where the warm waves break We dance till the day leans into the lake [Verse 2] Afternoon sails lean into the breeze Your smile makes the long horizon near We trade our careful plans for open water And let the gull-wing shadows disappear [Pre-Chorus] You point where the cloudbanks split apart I feel the open season start [Chorus] Come on, let the whole coast spin Sea foam at our ankles, summer on our skin Two hearts keeping time where the warm waves break We dance till the day leans into the lake [Bridge] When the evening colors climb the bay We’ll carry this gladness inland, far away No promise needs a ribbon or a name Just your quick grin catching mine again [Final Chorus] Come on, let the whole coast spin Our shadows sweep the shoreline, dusk comes rolling in Two hearts keeping time as the first lamps wake We dance while the last gulls cross the lake [Outro] The tide turns softly, silver under blue The night begins, and I’m still close to you
