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

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

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
