Intro: C# B F# 
       C# G#m A#m 
       C# B F# 

C#              G#m 
   Lie with me now  
A#m 
    Under lemon tree skies  
  C#                                            B 
Show me the shy, slow smile you keep hidden by warm brown eyes  
 F# 
Catch the sweet hover of lips just barely apart  
     C#        G#m 
And wonder at loves sweet ache  
                         A#m 
And the wild beat of my heart  
C#    B                   F# 
Oh, rhapsody tearing me apart  
        C#                                 G#m 
And I dreamed I was saying goodbye to my child  
         A#m                       C# 
She was taking a last look at the sea  
 B 
Wading through dreams, up to our knees in warm ocean swells  

While bathing belles, soft beneath  
 F# 
Hard bitten shells punch their iPhones  

Erasing the numbers of radon done lovers  
                  C# 
And search the horizon  
     G#m 
And you'll find my child  

Down by the shore  
 A#m 
Digging a mound for a chain or a bone  
 C#                                              B (melodia) 
Searching the sand for a relic washed up by the sea  
              F# 
The last refugee
