"BEFORE THE AUTUMN APPROACH" lyrics

Predispose
My soul to tides that ebb and flow
I'm the one the ocean chose
To stay

Salted air
My skin is blessed with sunlight prayers
Head to toe in lace ribbon, ribbon

Oh, July couldn't stay
It was already near
The ending of a summer you'd be starring in
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach

Baccarat in the sunroom
I never win
But I bet on the banker
You deal with a grin
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach

Seashell words
You spoke so soft I barely heard
Now you are the loudest thing
In my brain

Sandy feet
Spin me around this empty beach
I don't wanna walk paved streets
Back in the city, ooh

Oh, July couldn't stay
It was already near
The ending of a summer you'd be starring in
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach

Baccarat in the sunroom
I never win
But I bet on the banker
You deal with a grin
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach

Au revoir to a summer
Shot on a film
Champagne on the ceiling
Sun on the sill
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach

Shades of red, white, and blue
Covered the darkened sky
On the 4th of July
Keep sailing
Toward this moment
Anchors up, clear coastin'

Oh, July couldn't stay
It was already near
The ending of a summer you'd be starring in
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach

Baccarat in the sunroom
I never win
But I bet on the banker
You deal with a grin
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach

Au revoir to a summer
Shot on a film
Champagne on the ceiling
Sun on the sill
Holding this close
Before the autumn approach
