Lyrics Riptide - Laura Veirs

Riptide

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
Iў‚¬"ўll pull myself ashore
Left with essence
Of the moon and stars and night
Thereў‚¬"ўs no other route
I cannot take self to flight
Iў‚¬"ўll float here with the shrimp and brine
And on my cheeks and hair
The salt will always shine
And with this phosphorescence map
A sailorў‚¬"ўs chart a mermaidў‚¬"ўs hand
Something iў‚¬"ўll find
Oh starry night come and chart a courseў‚¬¦
