**The sun grew dark, the sky grew black,
I looked away; when I looked back
The rain was falling in sheets, so fine,
I thought I'd finally come back.
The air was heavy like before
I felt that longing even more
I tasted sea salt on my face
Standing on my landlocked shore.
It all came back to me, right there
Spray in my eyes, wind in my hair
It all returned to tantalize
As if those rain clouds didn't care.**

I tasted sea salt on my face
Standing on my landlocked shore.
It all came back to me, right there
Spray in my eyes, wind in my hair
It all returned to tantalize
As if those rain clouds didn't care.**
