Meet Me at the Gulf of Mexico

Lyrics

I remember when we walked along the sand
I was six years old and so you took my hand
And the waves were our own roller-coaster ride
So we'd chase them and evade them on the shoreline

After lunch we'd have our sleepy sunburned nap
From the breeze we'd breathe the salty ocean back
You could hear it ever beckon to your heart
So we couldn't wait to be back on the white sand

Meet me at the Gulf Of Mexico
And we'll turn our memories loose across the sand
Meet me at the Gulf Of Mexico
And I promise I won't let go of your hand
Yes I promise I won't let go of your hand

In the evening it felt like eternity
Standing on the dark beach by the open sea
With its never-ending song of mystery
And its subtle harmony of hope and changes

Meet me at the Gulf Of Mexico
And we'll turn our memories loose across the sand
Meet me at the Gulf Of Mexico
And I promise I won't let go of your hand

Meet me at the Gulf Of Mexico
And we'll bring back to it everything we can
Meet me at the Gulf Of Mexico
And I promise I won't let go of your hand
Yes I promise I won't let go of your hand
