Trace the curving on the coastline
                  G#m
The Santa Lucia cliffside

We'll stay here for the night

  E                      C#m
A gray silhouette of you dancing
                         G#m
A shadow play that we're cast in
D#m          B
On the cabin walls

In a slow motion fade

Could I finally see

Between belief and faith?

E
I remember you closing the shutters
    B
And laying down by my side
E
And the light that was still slipping through
       B
It was painting your body in stripes
E
I remember the trees tumbling down
         B
Like an archangel choir
E
And the ocean was all we could see
      B
And I knew that I wanted you
 
E
I remember you closing the shutters
    G#m         B
And laying down by my side

And the light that was still slipping through
       G#m           B
It was painting your body in stripes
E
I remember the trees tumbling down
        G#m       B
Like an archangel choir
C#m
And the ocean was all we could see
      G#m         D#m
And I knew that I wanted you
