Ah... Ooh... Morning is still blue around me, wind moving softly through the silk. The ocean holds the first light, and somewhere behind me, your car goes still. I hear you before I see you, our song still drifting from the door. Your footsteps move into the sunrise, and I know that rhythm from before. I keep my eyes upon the water, where blue is slowly turning warm. I smile without looking behind me; I know exactly who is coming. Then your jacket finds my shoulders, your breath is warm against my hair. I feel my body lean toward you before your arms are even there. Stay with me while the sea turns gold, while morning opens over us. Hold me where the cliff meets heaven, last night still living in my touch. Stay with me while the sea turns gold; we don't need forever in this light. Your heartbeat close against my body, and everything around us feels alive. Ooh... Gold on the water, your jacket on my skin. Ah... Gold on the water, your arms are pulling me in. Again, again, let the morning begin. I close my eyes and night returns now, not as a story, but a trace: your mouth, your laugh, the lamp left burning, the dark, the warmth, your hands, your face. A shiver passes through my body; you feel it and you hold me near. Not from the wind across the ocean just memory finding morning here. Don't say anything. Just stay here. Let silence settle into sound. Your hands rest softly at my waist and all the world grows quiet around us. Stay with me while the sea turns gold, while darkness loosens into day. Hold me, not to save or keep me; I am here because I choose to stay. Your heartbeat, your hands, this horizon, this impossible and tender view. Stay with me while the sea turns gold; for this moment, let the world be two. Ooh... Ah... Every wave becomes another, still we always call it sea. Every morning changes color, still the light knows what to be. Maybe love can move like water, never frozen, never through. I can change and still be myself; you can change and still be you. Stay with me while the sea turns gold, let the whole horizon open wide. Let me hear your footsteps in our song before I turn and meet your eyes. Let your arms close softly around me; let me keep every part of me. Your mouth against mine, salt in the air, wind in the silk, light on the sea. Stay with me while the sea turns gold. Nothing missing. Nothing to prove. I lay my head against your heartbeat and let the morning move through us. Gold on the water. Warmth on my skin. Again... Again... I watch the sea turn gold and let the morning in.
