Two Notes Bending Round

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Fog rolls low across the harbour mouth

Your breath writes letters on my neck

I count the gulls that drift away south

You trace a river down my wrist and check

The tide is turning silver-grey

Your fingers find the hollow of my spine

We've got nothing left to say

But everything is spoken in the brine

Pre-Chorus

And if the moon could speak our names

It would whisper them in waves

Chorus

Underneath the salt and the sediment sound

We are two notes bending round

The reef that keeps the deep from breaking out

Two notes bending round

Drop

Uh-uh-uh-uh

Uh-uh-uh-uh

Verse 2

Morning comes in clumsy blues

Your saxophone leans against the chair

I hum the chord you always choose

You answer with a riff that parts the air

The kettle hums a minor key

A moth taps softly at the glass

You drift across the room to me

And everything uncertain seems to pass

Pre-Chorus

And if the day could hold its tongue

We'd stay like this for good and never sung

Chorus

Underneath the salt and the sediment sound

We are two notes bending round

The reef that keeps the deep from breaking out

Two notes bending round

Bridge

Some say love is a lighthouse

Some say it's a wreck

I say it's this slow bright hour

With the sea at our necks

Chorus

Underneath the salt and the sediment sound

We are two notes bending round

The reef that keeps the deep from breaking out

Two notes bending round

Drop

Uh-uh-uh-uh

Uh-uh-uh-uh

Mm-hmm
