about

River In The Sea speaks about finding the purest form of love, be it in a romantic relationship, in a divine presence or somewhere else.
The line "Your song blesses everyone" is my favourite in the whole tune because here the "song" can take a metaphorical form and express an offering, the entirety of someone, their core shining through into the outside world.

lyrics

Salted freckles make me smile
The loving sea brought you to me
You taste like Christmas in July

Being nurtured, safe and sound
Thank you for what I found
I can give, receive, believe
You're my sky, my solid ground

My heart is filled with joy
Reality is clear
How could I hope to find
Something so dear?
Today I only care
About the truth I see
No future and no past
You're heaven's gift to me

I will love you always
Like a flower loves the sun
Like the angels know the truth
I found everything in you

I will love you always
Like the birds that love the dawn
Sing their hearts out to the sun
Your song blesses everyone
