Me and Lady Harbor let the tide slip away
Revealing her hands entwined in mine
Safe and sound and sweet and soft beneath the whip of my flags three
Hello Carolopolis, Carolina, My Country 'tis of Thee
Quiet under cover of yet another deep blue night
Threads of silk in a sateen sky dimming the gibbous light
While five tapdancing fingers piano her prickly spine
Up and own and up again, a silly rhythm in my mind
Baby's breath breeze billows a sojourning breast
Baby's breath breathing good tidings who beckon me home, home sweet home
Baby's breath healing my sin-sick soul
At last, at once, and for all
Slip away with me, she says
Slip away with me, she says
Slip away with me, she says
Slip away with me, she says
Lady Harbor, she says slip away, slip away
Slip away with me, she says
The tide pool ripples in our too-tiny bed
The surface sparkles ever-silver
And I shall sing now to thee and only thee
My beloved Lady Harbor, intertwined in me
Five tapdancing fingers piano her prickly spine
Up and down and up again
