Paloma

I woke up at the darkest hour
Every light upon the shoreline was out
I gazed out into the deep blue
As the thunderous waves roared

Ooh, and in the black of night, I wouldn't be taken aback if
The water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh, and in the black of night, I wouldn't be taken aback if
The sun gave up and never brought the day
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

The heavy rain poured down
The sky electric with the boom and rumble
And in nerves, I counted silently
Between the sight and the sound

Ooh, and in the black of night, I wouldn't be taken aback if
The water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh, and in the black of night, I wouldn't be taken aback if
The sun gave up and never brought the day
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

And in the dimmest light of morning
I found a mourning dove
Paloma rode the wind to where she lay
Silent as a stone

Ooh, and in the black of night, I wouldn't be taken aback if
The water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh, and in the black of night, I wouldn't be taken aback if
The sun gave up and never brought the day
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
