The Cat Empire - Lyrics - Saltwater

Song title: Saltwater
Written by: H Angus
Recordings:
- Two Shoes (2005)

Lyrics:
I’ve got the clouds on a string
That I pull with my little finger elegantly
What is this, oh what’s the feeling on the breeze?
It feels like all my holidays when my father used to say
"Let’s go down to the beach"
And we’d go down to the beach
My little sisters and me
Sometimes a man can feel like he is just a puppet
And the wind blows him here and blows him there
But when I kiss you my dear
I feel like a buccaneer
And water makes its music everywhere

Saltwater!
Oh, how I miss your misty kisses
Saltwater!
Oh what expressionless bliss is this?
Is this?, is this?, is this?

I’ve got the sky in my eyes
As I lie on my back in the deep blue sea
What is this oh what could this strange feeling be?
It feels like- *Harry scats*
It feels like- *Harry scats*
It feels like-
I don’t know what it feels like
But it feels right.
Sometimes a man is like an ice cream in a desert
And he wonders what is it we seek?
Like water runs through your fingers
Memories rise up from the deep

Saltwater!
Oh, how I miss your misty kisses
Saltwater!
Oh what expressionless bliss is this?
Is this?, is this?, is this?
