How long have I waited for you darling
And how long must we wait to see this through
And how long can your love endure these words which will the world adorn
And start anew
And how long can two hearts safely hold on
To memories remembered while still real
We can count on broken songs and longing that goes on and on
I hope it isn't true
Our love's not the kind
Of love you can find on a map
No no no
I hope that my line
Arrives to you in time
And where you're at I hope you feel fantastic
Your smile just reminds me of the ocean
And so I can't go swimming anymore
Without drowning deep inside emotion
Cuz darling you're the one that I adore
Your loving eyes behind your lazy lashes
That softly bat like words lost in the wind
After we make love and lay there tired
A peaceful place where time doesn't exist
Late at night I dream about your fair skin
The way you talk your hips and your dark hair
Covering the pillow where my head is
Though half the time it's me who moved it there
Your smile just reminds me of the ocean
So every night when I can't sleep I swim
The seals beneath the pier are all our old friends
Like moving shapes they slow dance while I sing
Your smile just reminds me of the ocean
The ocean just reminds me of your smile
And that first night when I first got the notion
That you'd be on my mind for a long while
We kissed beneath the night sky for a long time
We let the sand and foam bury our feet
But you were headed home in such a short time
So I was scared to set my feelings free
You pointed to the sky and slowly smiled
You told me that the moon was upside down
You said how poetic and how wild
We'd only see the same moon when it's round
California needs you and your big heart
More than I need food upon my plate
So darling if you're ready for a new start
Then say the word and forever I will wait
Our love's not the kind
Of love you can find on a map
No no no
I hope that my line
Arrives to you in time
And where you're at I hope you feel fantastic
Our love's not the kind
Of love you can find on a map
Though I've tried
I hope that my line
Arrives to you in time
And where you're at I hope you feel fantastic
Forever I hope you feel fantastic
Darling I hope you feel fantastic
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
Yes I do
