Mail it out with the tide

Mail it out with the high and the low

Watch the marks in the sand

Listen to the fog on the homeless waves

And feel the salt sea

in your hands

Smell that sea wind,

taste on your lips

That foam that rolls over my lost ships

And write your letter once more

in the sand

Where the breaker dips and our

undertow slips

Kneel down and feel the water's edge

Write our names side by side

And look and listen to all

those ships
Verse 2

That toss in the fog and in the tides

Let down your hair when you kneel

down there

Let me be the wind that pulls your hair

And you be the man

you made out of sand

And let your hands keep making

him there

When nobody is looking kiss

your hand

And touch to the nose

of your man in the sand

Then lay down with your head

on his chest
