Lyrics for At the Edge of the Sea

We lie in this salty embrace A sunny day, this special place Tonight the sea is ours And restless with sand in our shoes A golden mile, that special smile Asleep in a lover's arms And if heaven sent a kiss Would it be something like this? Would it soar above the waves? Is that how a kiss behaves? Is that how a kiss behaves? And colours so icy and bright Are swimming round my head tonight A clear and sleepy tide But watch with a heavier heart As I try to tear it all apart With a greed that's all my own And if heaven sent a kiss Would it be something like this? Would it soar above the waves? Is that how a kiss behaves? Is that how a kiss behaves? Why don't you tell me?
