Salt in the air, light on the wave  
You are the calm I crave  
You move like water on my skin  
Coming close, then out again  
A song without a single word  
Still every ripple's heard  

The sea forgets but never lies  
It hides your shape, not your sighs  

Tide between us, ebb and flow  
We dance in places no one knows  
No need to stay, no need to run  
You shine like the setting sun  
You're there, then fade from sight  
Like moonlight dressed in white  

Your voice is soft like foam at dusk  
Too gentle, never brusque  
We speak in glances, not in sound  
On shifting sand, we’re never found  

We never held, but we belong  
Like oceans humming old songs  
Tide between us, ebb and flow  
We dance in places no one knows  
No need to stay, no need to run  
You shine like the setting sun  

So drift, my love, as waves will do  
I'll stay the shore that waits for you
