Leatherback (Brownstein/Amarante)
Sink and rise, swim under the crest of spinning sea, going over me
Tropic ice, remnants of the dusk of another day, won't you try to stay?
Like the first breath of winter, you're all in my lungs
every name I know, darling yours is the one
You can be the lightning, I'll be the storm
I'll meet you on the beach where our parents were born.
Duck and dance, footprints paint the sand of this little isle, as we stray and smile.
Here or there, we'll wait and watch the waves for a day or two, then it's me and you
Like the sun in the morning, I'm finally free
Every time we touch you're the master of me
You can be the movement and I'll join the fight
I'll love you and miss you like the sun in the night
Back again, here to watch children as they hatch and crawl, through the urban sprawl
Changing world, plastic in the sand and the ocean streams, polypropylene
Like the moon calls water, I'm longing for you
every changing tide is a breath she drew
you can be the seeker and I'll be the sight
I'll wait for you always with all of my might.
This feeling when we’re together
I would wait forever
Two turtles backed by leather
And you can go wherever
And I promise I’d never leave
This feeling when we’re together
I would wait forever
You can go wherever
And I promise I’d never leave
