Lyrics

Sea of Cortez

[Verse 1]
Out where the water turns glass
You can see clear to the sand
Parrotfish flash like confetti
And the reef holds out its hand
Dolphins roll by in the blue
Pelicans circle above
Every cove got a new surprise
Every wave got a story of love

[Pre-Chorus]
Come a little closer
Let the shoreline sing
Hear the boats in the morning
Hear the bells they bring
Take your time, take it in
Let the whole coast glow
Once you see that water
You already know

[Chorus]
Sea of Cortez
Sea of Cortez
Come and play, come and play
Sea of Cortez
Sea of Cortez
Come and fish, come and dive
Just come away

[Verse 2]
Slow drift past the coral gardens
Silver schools in a moving veil
Octopus tucked in the shadow
Sea turtles steady on the trail
From the deck to the dock at dusk
There’s a sweet salt fire in the air
You can laugh with a line in your hand
You can breathe like you got nowhere else

[Pre-Chorus]
Come a little closer
Let the shoreline sing
Hear the boats in the morning
Hear the bells they bring
Take your time, take it in
Let the whole coast glow
Once you see that water
You already know

[Chorus]
Sea of Cortez
Sea of Cortez
Come and play, come and play
Sea of Cortez
Sea of Cortez
Come and fish, come and dive
Just come away

[Bridge]
No need to rush, no need to hide
Let the tide carry you wide
Clear blue water, bright and alive
One look, and you feel that pull inside

[Chorus]
Sea of Cortez
Sea of Cortez
Come and play, come and play
Sea of Cortez
Sea of Cortez
Come and boat, come and cruise
Don’t miss this place
