"Paloma" lyrics

"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...
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh...
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...

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...
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh...
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...

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

Ooh...
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh...
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...
