Some things stay golden in the light
The sea remembers every night (mmm)
Cliffside tables, afternoon wine
The water bends the afternoon light
You traced the rim
of your glass
so slow
Somewhere we forgot how
to go (ooh)
And every postcard fades
But this one stays (ahhh)
Some things stay golden in the light
The sea remembers every night
(mmm
yeah)
Lemons hung from terracotta walls
A distant bell,
a motor stalls
You laughed at nothing,
I laughed too
Half-asleep and gold like you
(ooh hmm)
Maybe it's the salt in the air
Maybe it's the way you wore your hair
All I know is time moved like honey there (ahhhh)
Some things stay golden in the light
The sea remembers every night
And so do I
(mmm ooh yeah)
