lyrics

my darling, don’t you worry about anything
this will be here singing and swimming in your dreams
and i’ll hold you like i hold onto the sea -
she slips through my arms sometimes but always comes back to me
oh oh oh
my darling in 8 million beats you’ll be gone
but in 28 million you will be back in my arms
and i see you in the moon sun and sky
on the mountain tops where i will let my body lie

and if you should find yourself doubting my love
just know i’m yours, i can’t say it enough
and out of all of these things i swear i love-
well it’s always you i’ll be singing of
oh oh

my darling in seven months i’ll still be here
with empty arms and a smile so wide my dear (is how it should go heh)
yeah i’ve seen you always in my day dreams
and i’ve saved your space so when you return you can lay next to me

but if you should find you never want to come back
just send me a line, i’ve got my backpack packed
i will walk to you and bring the new day
hey i’ve always needed to run away!
oh oh

(repeat first verse)

but if you should find somebody new
i’ll be ready and i will not blame you
just follow your heart and i’ll rewrite my dreams
hold you in my hands then send you back to sea
oh oh.
