Waterside Duet

Our shoes trace the edge of the wooden pier (humm)

Keeping a distance that we make too clear

You watch the tide, I

watch your hand

Two silent shadows on the silver sand

And the water reflects what we try to hide

Stretched out wide on the rising tide

Every word we save,

every step we take Is another promise we're about to break

Now the tide pulls close,

and the air turns cold

We talk of the weather but our hands want to hold

And the water reflects what we try to hide

Stretched out wide on the rising tide Every word we save,

every step we take Is another promise we're about to break

(about to break)

We walk the line but we both look down While the stars

betray us to the sleeping town (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Just a little promenade

Before our shadows fade
