The lazy blue of the ocean
Cigarette smoke drifts across the sun
It forms a lasso and pulls it down
Oh so slowly
And paints the seaside sky with gold
I'm just bracing for it to come undone
When I remember the things we said and the things we've done
I'm losing all this time I thought was mine to use
My body's here in paradise but I'm still there with you
Time floats by in this sleepy town
But I can't sleep at all
With your voice ringing through my head
Oh so sweetly
Like a church bell singing over the cliffs
Now I'm just bracing for it to come undone
When I remember the things we said and the things we've done
I'm losing all this time I thought was mine to use
My body's here in paradise but I'm still there with you
Do you think of me however briefly in the cold back home?
When the winter wind takes ahold of your skin with an icy hand
Because my coat's not around your shoulders anymore
My coat's not around your shoulders anymore
Now I'm just bracing for it to come undone
When I remember the things we said and the things we've done
I'm losing all this time I thought was mine to use
My body's here in paradise but I'm still there with you
