Sitting by time

(Verse 1)

The wood is warm beneath my boots

Watching the tide pull at the roots

Of the old pylons, green with the sea

Just the horizon and a little bit of me.

Couples walking by, hand in hand

Writing their secrets in the shifting sand

The world keeps moving, the tide rolls in

Watching the evening finally begin.

(Chorus)

And I’ve got a beat in my head, tapping my feet

The rhythm of the water and the quiet of the street

Everything’s alright, or it’s gonna be fine

I’m taking my soul back, one inch at a time.

Life’s gonna be good, yeah, the sky’s turning blue

Life’s gonna be good, with or without you.

(Verse 2)

The orange fire is melting into grey

Kissing the edges of a long, long day

People coming, people going, chasing the light

While I’m just settling into the night.

No more heavy lifting, no more ghosts to find

Just a little peace and a melody in mind.

(Chorus)

Cause I’ve got a beat in my head, tapping my feet

The rhythm of the water and the quiet of the street

Everything’s alright, or it’s gonna be fine

I’m taking my soul back, one inch at a time.

Life’s gonna be good, yeah, the sky’s turning blue

Life’s gonna be good, with or without you.

(Bridge)

I used to think the sun wouldn't rise

If I didn't see it through your eyes

But the stars are coming out, one by one

And I’m still standing here, now the day is done.

(Outro)

Yeah, with or without you...

Just me and the dock...

And this beat in my head...

It’s gonna be fine.

(Tapping sound fades out)
