lyrics

In the morning when the sky is grey
I’ll blow a kiss as I sail away
I’ll cross the ocean and I’ll reach the land
I’ll drop the anchor and I’ll kiss the sand
I’ll leave the boat there drifting off the shore
I’ll walk toward Eden where I was before
The lonesome ocean song is all I hear
The lonesome night makes the stars appear

Love, come to me
Love, speak sweetly
Love, make me whole
Love, don’t let me grow old

In the evening when the lights will fade
I’ll stand on top of the roof and sway
I’ll move in rhythm with the silent clouds
I’ll play a melody that’s fierce and loud
Every night I’ll dream of you, so dark and bright
Your beauty’s written in night’s starry skies
The gated garden it is closed to me
There’s remnants left still, don’t you agree

Love, come to me
Love, speak sweetly
Love, make me whole
Love, don’t let me grow old

From the coast of Barcelona to the south of France
The boots of Spanish leather and linen pants
Her eyes shine with the beauty given only to night
That’s the type of beauty that God denied to daylight
Tomorrow morning when the sky is grey
I’ll blow a kiss and I’ll sail away
