lyrics

Where a broken ocean meets the sea
And the waves coo o’er him
Tenderly

Where a doe pretends to be brave,
Squaring up so she might save
Her precious baby
Her precious fawn

She’s glad to go, lad,
Don’t be forlorn.

And he wants to be loved.

The sunlight is still warm
Drink it in, young ones

Dressed in white, a pretty mess,
Smiling out of loneliness,
Clutching a string of shells that she has made-
Salty tears and lemonade

And she wants to be loved.

The sunlight is still warm
Drink it in, young ones

Bright eyes like honeycomb,
A lost dog has found its home
The towers he has dreamt and made:
Wet sand and lemonade

And he wants to be loved

The sunlight is still warm
Drink it in, young ones.
