From the recording Time Before the Fall (2006)
Lyrics
Midnight Sea
Dave Nachmanoff
When the horses go down to the water at night
When the moon silhouettes the pelican’s flight
Will you promise to meet my by the phosphoresce light
In the glow of the midnight sea, in the glow of the midnight sea
Now my hunger’s as sharp as the salt in the air
Cuts a trail through the night, like a comet or flare
On the dunes in the distance catch a glimpse of your hair
In the glow of the midnight sea, in the glow of the midnight sea
Bridge:
Far away, a steel drum plays
And the sound tumbles over the breeze
The palm trees sway just like dancers
In the glow of the midnight sea, in the glow of the midnight sea
Now we’re rolling together down deep in the sand
And I feel you respond to the touch of my hand
And you slick as the seals that come up on the land
In the glow of the midnight sea, in the glow of the midnight sea
(repeat Bridge)
I wonder how many small diamonds it takes
To light up the water like the love that we make
And I’ll hold you ‘til morning, or whenever you wake
‘Cause you glow like the midnight sea, yes, you glow like the midnight sea
