I tasted salt air
When I saw the seafarer
He came from nowhere
I tried hard not to stare
And into the night air
He laid my heart bare

And I felt the warm sand
Under my cold hands
Seeped into his sun tan
It wasn't what I had planned

Cause he has the heart of a good man
A heart I don't understand but I'm gonna learn about it
I wanna keep this man
I wanna sing about it
I wanna call his name
I wanna swim into it

Please
Let him have me for all that I am worth
And all that I know
Please
Let him have me for all that I am worth
He's at the center of my earth

And I tasted salt air
When I kissed the seafarer
Into his arms deeper
I fell for old keepers
Under the warm sand
I buried my cold hands
And into the sea, I swam
Leaving those old plans

Cause he has the heart of a good man
A heart I don't understand but I'm gonna learn about it
I wanna keep this man
I wanna sing about it
I wanna call his name
I wanna swim into it

Please
Let him have me for all that I am worth
And all that I know
Please
Let him have me for all that I am worth
He's at the center of my earth
