Las Palmas

(album: Preincarnate - 2002)

I woke up in white cotton sheets
With a glass of champagne in my hand
I looked out the window beside me
Breathed in the sea and the sand
And all felt fine

I stood up on a white tile floor
Took down my hair and I cried
I walked through the arches and on to the shore
And let the waves crash for a while
And it all felt fine

I was the only one
Walking on the ocean that night
I was the only one
Encompassed and kissed by starlight
And all the fireflies whispered your name

Love, love
Dance with me in this moonlight
Love Love
Don't leave me now it's only midnight
He's already gone

I laid down in white salty sand

In a gown for a party I'd never attend
I looked out the vastness before me
Picked up my skirt and I ran
And the moon was mine
I laughed at my foolish pride
Got lost in the mist as my tears relied
I wish you knew I stilled cared
And a lighthouse broke through the night
But the moon was mine

I was the only one
Walking on the ocean that night
I was the only one
Encompassed and kissed by starlight
And all the fireflies whispered your name

Love, love
Dance with me in this moonlight
Love Love
Don't leave me now it's only midnight
He's already gone
