The Sea And The Rhythm

Iron And Wine

Tonight, we're the sea and the salty breeze

the milk from your breast is on my lips

and lovelier words from your mouth to me

when salty my sweat and fingertips



Our hands they seek the end of afternoon

my hands believe and move over you



Tonight, we're the sea and

the rhythm there

the waves and the wind and night is black

tonight we're the scent of your

long black hair

spread out like your breath

across my back

Your hands they move like waves over me

beneath the moon, tonight, we're the sea
