Seafoam Aphrodite

Lyrics

Verse 1
I saw you in the salt-white dawn
Bare feet where the waves came on
Hair like foam on a painted stone
You stood there like you’d always known

Verse 2
You laugh and the gulls lean in
Gold on your skin, soft as wind
My little heart beats out of time
When you turn that face to mine

Pre-Chorus
And I forget my name
When you cross the shore
Every broken part of me
Wants to be adored

Chorus
Aphrodite, take me in
Seafoam crown and cinnamon skin
Aphrodite, pull me close
I was made to love you most
Aphrodite, stay awhile
Wash my fear away in your smile
(Aphrodite) (Aphrodite)

Verse 3
You leave pearls where your fingers pass
Moonlit prints in the wet sand grass
I follow quiet, I follow slow
Like a prayer only tides could know

Pre-Chorus
And I forget my name
When you cross the shore
Every trembling part of me
Wants to be adored

Chorus
Aphrodite, take me in
Seafoam crown and cinnamon skin
Aphrodite, pull me close
I was made to love you most
Aphrodite, stay awhile
Wash my fear away in your smile
(Aphrodite) (Aphrodite)

Bridge
If love is a wild sea
Let it carry me
If I fall too hard
Let it fall on me
(oh) (oh)
Let it fall on me

Final Chorus
Aphrodite, take me in
Seafoam crown and cinnamon skin
Aphrodite, pull me close
I was made to love you most
Aphrodite, stay awhile
Wash my fear away in your smile
(Aphrodite) (Aphrodite)
(Aphrodite)
