Phil Spillman - Holding the Sea Lyrics

You are the one I want to walk along
Beaches of sand, cliffs of stone
You pull me close as the moon pulls you in
My arms hold on but they'll be empty again

You roll in like the tide
And just when I think I have the time

You rush to curl up to me
Then you crash upon my shore
You roll away with the air I need
You leave me begging for more
You linger in every breath I breathe
You stretch out as far as the eye can see
You're not a want, you are a need
Holding you is like holding the sea
Holding you is like holding the sea

Now there's a peace you bring my way
But the tempest is coming and it rides the waves
You come in like the tide but you never stay
I'm sure the deep has taught you all your ways

The calmness settles in at night
And just when I think my grip is tight

You rush to curl up to me
Then you crash upon my shore
You roll away with the air I need
You leave me begging for more
You linger in every breath I breathe
You stretch out as far as the eye can see
You're not a want, you are a need
Holding you is like holding the sea
Holding you is like holding the sea

In your beauty I yearn to swim
But I fear the undertow will do me in

You roll in like the tide
And just when I think I have the time

You rush to curl up to me
Then you crash upon my shore
You roll away with the air I need
You leave me begging for more
You linger in every breath I breathe
You stretch out as far as the eye can see
You're not a want, you are a need
Holding you is like holding the sea
Holding you is like holding the sea
