Lyrics

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Yeah

Chorus

Sunset sinking slow

I got my six strings humming

Salt air in my throat

Palm trees start their drumming

Waves come washing in

Washing all my worries thin

Sunset sinking slow

I let the evening in

Verse 1

Towel on the sand

Bare feet and a beat-up guitar

Gulls are heading home now

Orange bleeding into blue above the water

Every rolling breaker

Lays a little rhythm in my lap

My fingers find the melody

That the ocean hums right back

Pre-Chorus

And the stars start flicking on

Like somebody's flipping switches

And the breeze moves soft and slow

Through the fronds and through my stitches

Chorus

Sunset sinking slow

I got my six strings humming

Salt air in my throat

Palm trees start their drumming

Waves come washing in

Washing all my worries thin

Sunset sinking slow

I let the evening in

Post-Chorus

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

Oh-oh-oh

La-la-la-la

Verse 2

Nothing here to prove

No clock no crowd no noise

Just a chord and a salty sky

And a calm I never knew I could enjoy

Palm fronds swaying easy

Like they're dancing for nobody at all

And I strum a little softer

While the shadows get tall

Pre-Chorus

And the stars start flicking on

Like somebody's flipping switches

And the breeze moves soft and slow

Through the fronds and through my stitches

Chorus

Sunset sinking slow

I got my six strings humming

Salt air in my throat

Palm trees start their drumming

Waves come washing in

Washing all my worries thin

Sunset sinking slow

I let the evening in

Bridge

Hold it hold it hold it right here

Let the tide take the day

Hold it hold it hold it right here

I don't want it to fade

Chorus

Sunset sinking slow

I got my six strings humming

Salt air in my throat

Palm trees start their drumming

Waves come washing in

Washing all my worries thin

Sunset sinking slow

I let the evening in

Post-Chorus

La-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

Oh-oh-oh

La-la-la-la
