Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Go down to the water
where oil floats by
Drop your hair down and cry
And write with your finger [F]in [C]the sand
Mail it [F]out [C]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 [F]the [C]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
[C]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
Be nice, be nice to your [Bb]man o[C]n the sand
