Nadia

[Intro] [whispered] Nadia... Nadia... [Verse 1] Salt on your skin from an August sea You gave me a name that wasn't me Lemon trees breathing outside the door I never learned what your laughter was for [Pre-Chorus] The clock on the harbor struck too soon You slipped through the shutters with the moon [Chorus] Nadia, one night and you're gone Nadia, still humming your song I trace the warm shape you left in the sand Nadia, you're smoke in my hand [Verse 2] A silver ring you forgot on the sill Cold coffee, the ashtray, the air standing still You spoke in a tongue I could taste but not read And every word since tastes like nothing instead [Pre-Chorus] The clock on the harbor struck too soon You slipped through the shutters with the moon [Chorus] Nadia, one night and you're gone Nadia, still humming your song I trace the warm shape you left in the sand Nadia, you're smoke in my hand [Bridge] [soft] Maybe you were never mine to keep Maybe you were only mine to dream The town says no one by that name was here So who was breathing warm against my ear [Breakdown] [whispered] Nadia... come back to the sea... Nadia... you're haunting me... [Chorus] Nadia, one night and you're gone Nadia, still humming your song I trace the warm shape you left in the sand Nadia, you're smoke in my hand [Outro] [whispered] Salt on your skin... salt on my hands... Nadia...
