VERSE 1.
Water rips and flows beneath my stance
The water strains to show me heat
It tries to comfort and embrace
Sand rips and flows between my feet

Red tide makes the night the day
Naked aqua children play
Splashing life as we swim
Red tide makes the night the day

The sea is full of stars
The stars are full of life
The sea’s the sky
The sky’s the sea

Give me dreams love, bread and wine
Makes the days go by so fine
I’ll butter your love
You toast my dreams
We’ll do it up right
The bulging will be slight
Why ruin a perfect flight

VERSE 2.
He asked me where we came from
“just watch that wave there breaking”
Creation’s in its middle years
And history’s only faking
Red tide makes the night the day
Naked aqua children play
Their smiles out glow the shining tide
Celebration ‘tween the sea, the sky, my eye

The sea is full of stars
Hovering sky’s a sea
The sea’s the sky
The sky’s the sea
The sea’s the sky
The sea’s the sky
The sky’s the sea
Life is shining to me
Life is shining to me
Life is shining to me

Give me dreams love bread and wine
Make the days go by so fine
I’ll butter your love
You toast my dreams
We’ll do it up right
The bulging will be slight
Why ruin a perfect flight
