Low Tide Lover

You come in with the evening tide
Leave your shoes and your doubts outside
Hold me like you mean to stay
Then the morning pulls you away
I keep a light on by the shore
Don't know what I keep it for
Salt on the windows, salt on my skin
Waiting for the water to bring you in

And every time you go
I swear I'll let you go

Oh, low tide lover
You only come when the moon says so
Low tide lover
I'm the harbor you'll never know
I give you all of my deep blue water
And you give me sand and foam
Low tide lover
When are you coming home

Mama warned me 'bout a sailor's heart
Said it's beautiful but built to part
I said Mama, I can make it stay
She just smiled and looked away
Now the gulls know my name by heart
And the lighthouse plays its part
Turning, turning, all night long
Like a woman who's waited too long

And every time you go
I swear I'll let you go

Oh, low tide lover
You only come when the moon says so
Low tide lover
I'm the harbor you'll never know
I give you all of my deep blue water
And you give me sand and foam
Low tide lover
When are you coming home

Maybe I'm the one who's drifting
Maybe I'm the one who's lost
Maybe love's not what you're given
Maybe love is what it costs

Oh, low tide lover
You only come when the moon says so
Low tide lover
I'm the harbor you'll never know
I give you all of my deep blue water
And you give me sand and foam
Low tide lover
When are you coming home

When are you coming home
