lyrics
(waves on stone) (ai...) Your boots still dry beside the door The laces stiff with salt and time The ocean brought your coat to shore It kept the hands that fit in mine (meu amor) I still make coffee, cups for two (dois, sempre dois) One goes cold the whole day through O mar, give him back to me Give him back, give him back I sing against the whole grey sea Give him back, give him back (o mar... o mar...) Blue tiles are peeling in the hall Saints and ships along the wall I touch each sail and say your name The paint and I, we fade the same (fade the same) Volta, amor, the lamp is lit The chair, the coat — none of it fits (volta... volta...) O mar, give him back to me Give him back, give him back I sing against the whole grey sea Give him back, give him back (o mar... o mar...) (only waves now) (give him back...)
