Beach Huts, Slow Tide at Night

by Odalys Fern

“A row of beach huts sleeping while the tide goes out. I wanted it to feel like walking past them on tiptoe.”

Lyrics

The beach huts all are sleeping
In a row along the sand
The sea is breathing slowly
Like a hush across the land
One lamp stays on at the end
A small and amber glow
I sit upon the step
And let the water come and go

Wave, little wave, come in
Let the quiet fold you in
Slow tide, slow tide
Carry all my cares outside
Wave, little wave, come in

The salt is in the shadows
The moon is on the foam
The footprints on the shoreline
Are all heading for home
I think of every someone
Who is far across the sea
The same slow tide is touching them
And touching me

Wave, little wave, come in
Let the quiet fold you in
Slow tide, slow tide
Carry all my cares outside
Wave, little wave, come in

Breathe in, breathe out
The sea knows what it's about
Breathe in, breathe out
Stay close, I'm right here

Wave, little wave, come in
Let the quiet fold you in
Slow tide, slow tide
Carry all my cares outside
Wave, little wave, come in

Wave, little wave
Come in, come in
