Caught the sound of a distant word

On the pale white wings of a frigate bird

Had to listen, couldn't save it all for later

It was the salt in the ocean and the stars on the equator

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah



If it's the salt in the ocean, it's the sugar cane

It's all of that, I knew I loved you before I knew your name

I get the notion it's a summer rain

It seems like everything's burning in that sugar cane



So this is me

I'll be no one else

Think that I believe that I was wrong, it's all gone

Well that's you, you got yourself

Believe me when I tell you

There's nothing wrong

There's nothing wrong with the sound you been needing all along



Stomped her feet and knocked the paint off the wall

Righteous gospel choir in a meeting hall

You had to listen so you know they let us in

Hurricane island through all that hurricane wind

Yeah, yeah, yeah



They were sayin' "Why don't you stay with the natives?

Sunburned and restless they'll take you in

They're as warm as a sunlight that's rolling in

On hurricane island through all that hurricane wind."



So this is me

I'll be no one else

Think that I believe that I was wrong, it's all gone

Well that's you, you got yourself

Believe me when I tell you

There's nothing wrong

There's nothing wrong with the sound you been needing all along



Stowed away on a ship in the spring, slept all night on a rope thin

They cut a pathway through the Saragasso Sea

It was everything and nothing

It was everything to me



Here we go...
