The Santa Lucia cliffside

We'll stay here for the night

Take another one if you need it

Or do you already feel it?

A gray silhouette of you dancing
G#m
A shadow play that we're cast in
D#m B
On the cabin walls
[Pre-Chorus 2]

You were floating to me

In a slow motion fade

Could I finally see

Between belief and faith?

E
I remember you closing the shutters
B
And laying down by my side
E
And the light that was still slipping through
B
It was painting your body in stripes
E
I remember the trees summoned down
B
Like an archangel choir
E
And the ocean was all we could see
B
And I knew that I wanted you
E
I remember you closing the shutters
G#m B
And laying down by my side
C#m
And the light that was still slipping through
G#m B
It was painting your body in stripes
E
I remember the trees summoned down
G#m B
Like an archangel choir
C#m
And the ocean was all we could see
G#m D#m
And I knew that I wanted you
[Chorus]

When am I gonna lose
C#m G#m B E
