Closer Says Love

  1. Turquoise Blue
WRITTEN BY: OWEN TEMPLE & WALT WILKINS

Saltwater and sun on your face
Floating on a state of grace
Horizon, straight and far as eyes can see
Wind and waves say welcome home
From every borderline you’ve ever known
Tides keep pulling me back out to sea

We call it Earth when it’s mostly water
Mother Ocean, we’re your sons and daughters
Salt in my blood, in my tears too
Tells where I’m from is turquoise blue
Where I’m from is turquoise blue

Deeper than the tallest mountain
More life lives here than we can count and
All signs say it’s where it all began
Even in deserts high and dry
Ancient seas meet my eye
And I’m baptized often as I can

We call it Earth when it’s mostly water
Mother Ocean, we’re your sons and daughters
Salt in my blood, in my tears too
Tells where I’m from is turquoise blue
Where I’m from is turquoise blue

Hard as ice and soft as steam
You carve and mold, drift and dream
Cloud and river are just your traveling names
As you revise, shape, and form
Through bitter cold and currents warm
Mixing colors with a hurricane

We call it Earth when it’s mostly water
Mother Ocean, we’re your sons and daughters
Salt in my blood, in my tears too
Tells where I’m from is turquoise blue
Where I’m from is turquoise blue

Saltwater and sun on your face
Floating on a state of grace
Horizon, straight and far as eyes can see
