Where the Water Folds

Şarkı Sözleri

[Intro] Salt on my sleeves, sun on the pier Cold drink sweating, good people near [Verse 1] I woke where the palms lean over the lane Old blue bicycle, rust on the chain Auntie got mangoes stacked in a crate Kids kick a bottle cap, laughing by the gate Boat leaves at noon with a cooler and rope Granddad says, “Take your time, that’s the code” I got two small bills and a pocket of sand Still feel rich when you reach for my hand [Chorus] Meet me where the water folds into the bay Put your worries in the tide, let them drift away No gold watch, no rush, no plan to defend Just a little more sun and the people I call friends [Verse 2] Rum shop radio, somebody tells a joke Smoke from the grill curls up with the smoke We trade old stories underneath the breadfruit tree You say the best kind of wealth is who stays when you leave Rain taps tin, then the whole sky clears You lean close, I can taste the lime in your beer If tomorrow comes loud, let it knock on its own Tonight this island got a heartbeat of stone [Chorus] Meet me where the water folds into the bay Put your worries in the tide, let them drift away No gold watch, no rush, no plan to defend Just a little more sun and the people I call friends [Bridge] And if the ferry pulls out before we’re ready We’ll wave from the dock, keep our footing steady Every road back home knows the shape of my feet Every song in the market carries something sweet [Chorus] Meet me where the water folds into the bay Put your worries in the tide, let them drift away No gold watch, no rush, no plan to defend Just a little more sun and the people I call friends [Outro] Salt on my sleeves, dusk on the pier Same old bicycle, somebody’s still here The water folds softly, the day finds its end A little more sun for the people I call friends
