Riptide Songtext
von Laura Veirs

Riptide pulls me out into the open sea
My toes dangle for a place to stand and be

Oh starry night, come and chart a course
Or send me a boat with an anchor set
I′ll pull myself ashore


Left with essence
Of the moon and stars and night
There's no other route
I cannot take self to flight

I′ll float here with the shrimp and brine
And on my cheeks and hair
The salt will always shine

And with this phosphorescence map
A sailor's chart, a mermaid's hand
Something I′ll find

Oh starry night, come and chart a course
Or send me a boat with an anchor set
I′ll pull myself ashore
