I hang around her shaking hand
A heavy lens above the sand
I catch the salt and summer heat
The rhythmic pulse of sandy street
The pink sky bleeds into the blue
The silver frame brings something new
The shutter snaps a sudden beat
The summer air is tasting sweet
Pastel glass and palm tree gold
A secret story to unfold
Pastel glass and velvet light
Holding onto every sight
She tracks the buses heading west
A worn out strap across her chest
I freeze the way the water glows
The way the salty evening flows
The pink sky bleeds into the blue
The silver frame brings something new
The shutter snaps a sudden beat
The summer air is tasting sweet
Pastel glass and palm tree gold
A secret story to unfold
Pastel glass and velvet light
Holding onto every sight
We lean against a rusted rail
A tiny ship, a paper sail
She doesn't speak but I can feel
The way the spinning world is real
Focus in on the distant line
Wait for the perfect golden sign
Hold the breath till the image clears
Wiping away all the lonely years
Pastel glass and palm tree gold
A secret story to unfold
Pastel glass and velvet light
Holding onto every sight
The battery is running low
The purple tide begins to flow
She tucks me in her denim coat
A tiny wooden summer boat
Pastel glass and palm tree gold
A secret story to unfold
Pastel glass and velvet light
Holding onto every sight
Just one more shot before we go. Keep the glow.
Pastel glass.
