[Intro — soft vocals] Desert gold and ocean blue Dakhla winds, I’m chasing you One deep breath, the world goes slow Feel that pull and let it go [Verse 1] Waking up with sand beneath my feet Sunrise dancing on the water, turning up the heat Flysurfer Sonic Five above my head A whole blue lagoon and a day of wind ahead Out past the shore, I find my line Lean against the harness, give it one more try Spray on my face, nothing on my mind But the next little ramp and the perfect time [Pre-Chorus] Edge it harder, send it high Watch the water fall away Then a magic gust comes rolling in And carries me away [Chorus] Oh, Dakhla, take me higher Salt on my lips and my heart on fire Send that jump into the blue Nothing feels like flying over you Oh, Dakhla, hold me there One more second hanging in the air When the magic gust comes through I leave a little gravity with you [Drop — vocal hook] Send it high, let it fly Dakhla, Dakhla Ocean blue, open sky Dakhla, Dakhla [Verse 2] Double frontroll, one foot out Two turns spinning with my heart in my mouth Find the strap and spot the blue Touch down laughing, somehow made it through Back on the beach, switch to my Stratos Friends on the shoreline shouting, “There he goes!” Send a kiteloop, feel the sideways pull Kite climbs back up and the lines stay full [Pre-Chorus] Legs are burning, daylight fades Still I turn and ride back out There’s a gust across the water That I can’t go home without [Chorus] Oh, Dakhla, take me higher Salt on my lips and my heart on fire Send that jump into the blue Nothing feels like flying over you Oh, Dakhla, hold me there One more second hanging in the air When the magic gust comes through I leave a little gravity with you [Bridge — stripped back] Later, brushing sand out of my hair I close my eyes and I’m still up there Dinner’s waiting, someone calls my name I’m watching that last jump play again [Final Chorus — full energy] Oh, Dakhla, take me higher Salt on my lips and my heart on fire Send that jump into the blue Nothing feels like flying over you Oh, Dakhla, hold me there One more second hanging in the air When the magic gust comes through I leave a little gravity with you [Outro — fading vocals] Desert gold and ocean blue Dakhla, I’ll come back to you One last jump, then one last ride Still flying on the way home tonight
