Riptide Lyrics - Laura Veirs

Riptide pulls me out into the open sea 

My toes dangle for a place to stand and be 

Oh starry night, come and chart a course 

Or send me a boat with an anchor set 

I'll pull myself ashore 

Left with essence 

Of the moon and stars and night 

There's no other route 

I cannot take self to flight 

I'll float here with the shrimp and brine 

And on my cheeks and hair 

The salt will always shine 

And with this phosphorescence map 

A sailor's chart, a mermaid's hand 

Something I'll find

Oh starry night, come and chart a course

I'll pull myself ashore
