SOME KIND OF
SHELTER

I don't know 
A thing about love
I'm not sure
Anybody does

​

Summer dresses 
Kept all winter
For the days when 
We were smiling

​

Summer kisses
Touches tender
I was always hoping
I was always hoping

I was always hoping 

​

Thought you were some kind of shelter
From all the days I can't remember
Thought you were the warmth
Of the sun on the sea
Some kind of shelter for me

​

Thought you were some kind of shelter
From all the days I can't remember
The sun that burned
And the salt in the sea

No kind of shelter for me

​

I pretend I'm not sure of myself
It puts you at your ease
But why are you so kind to pretend
To fall for tricks like these?

​

Summer kisses  
Kept all winter
For the days when 
You were smiling

​

Summer dresses
Touches tender
I am the insect on the water skin
As you throw the pebbles in

​

Thought you were some kind of shelter
From all the days I can't remember
Thought you were the warmth
Of the sun on this sea
Some kind of shelter for me

​

Thought you were some kind of shelter
From all the days I can't remember
The sun that burns
And the salt in the sea
And this wound that never heals.

​

Thought you were some kind of shelter
From all the days I can't remember
The sun that burned
The salt in the sea

No kind of shelter for me.

​

Sometimes the sea 
Sounds like chaos approaching
Sometimes the wind 
Wraps your dress against your skin.

​

Sometimes the sea
Sounds like chaos approaching.

Sometimes the sea 
Sounds like chaos approaching
Sometimes the wind 

Wraps your dress against your skin.

Sometimes I ask myself why the sky
Is so much closer to the shore than before.

Sometimes the sea
Sounds like chaos approaching.
Sometimes the wind 
Wraps your dress against your skin.

​

I don't know
A thing about love
I'm not sure that
Anybody does

​

It seems so long ago.

​

I was always hoping
I was always.

​

Thought you were some kind of shelter
From all the days I can't remember
The sun that burned
And the salt in the sea
Was no kind of shelter for me.

​

Thought you were some kind of shelter
From all the days I can't remember
Not the warmth of sun
Under the calm blue sea
No kind of shelter for you and me.

​

Sometimes the sea
Sounds like chaos approaching.
