Beacon in the sun

The water greets you like a small child
 Open arms and mile wide smile, yeah
 You're further from the bay, you're miles and miles away
 The sweet sun makes you simper
 It carves laugh lines on your face
 Left your money on the blanket
 Like Spalding Gray did for his moment
 Let's hope the natives rob you blind
 And you get your chance to shine
 You shine right through the water
 Become a beacon in the sun
 Be my island, be my tree (X2)
 Be my island, be my true (X2)
 2 times greater than a wonder
 Three times softer than a whisper
 It curls around my body, it lifts me off the ground
 The effervescent summer, spins around and round
