Tahitian Blue

John Butler Trio


Sail your ship up on the shore
With battered masts and broken oar
Let me aboard to play my part
By letting me into your heart

I've got, I've got only good to give
I've only got one life to live
And there ain't no place I'd rather be
Then with you on these seven seas

You love me and I love you deeper than Tahitian blue
So let my arms be the bay
May my heart anchor you through all those waves
May my eyes be the lights to your home

May my love keep you float-, love keep you floating
Legs are shaking on dry land
If you should fall, take my hand and
I'll pick you right back up again

Tell me now where you've been
When ruthless storming winds are blowing you
And you don't know which way you're going

Well let my
Well let my
Well let my
Well let my arms be the bay

May my heart anchor you through all those waves
May my eyes be the lights to your home
May my love keep you float-, love keep you floating
Let my arms be the bay

May my heart anchor you through all those waves
May my eyes be the lights to your home
May my love keep you float-, love keep you floating
Come on, come on, we can only assume

'Cause after the cold night comes the sun
We've got the right, yeah, everyone
To enjoy this life and have some fun
But you've got the key to your own cage

You've got the keys so you must be brave
It's only your life you can save
You're deeper than Tahitian blue
You love me and I love you

Deeper than Tahitian blue (deeper than Tahitian)
You love me and I love you
Deeper than Tahitian blue (deeper than Tahitian)
You love me and I love you
Deeper than Tahitian (deeper than Tahitian)
