lyrics

Remember those summers long ago
We'd meet at the camp and then go down to the coast
Start our mornings worshipping God
And then lie naked in the sand almost like we'd forgot
Drowned our sorrows swimming in desire
You played in the band, I sang in the choir
When we were everything we both wanted to be
If only in our youth, our sins could set us free

Daughter of the water, I was your seeker of the sun
So young, so in love
We learned to see through each other's eyes
Through salty seas and summer evening skies
Oh, daughter of the water
I was your seeker of the sun

We walked along the pavement in bare feet
Wrote our names with our toes in wet concrete
And ran like hell when the groundskeeper found us
He could never understand the summer love that surrounded us
I'd sneak out through the sun room of my Mom-Mom's house
Find you under the streetlight in your best summer blouse
And we'd climb in the car with our older friends
Head down to Henri's bar near Townsend's inlet

Daughter of the water, I was your seeker of the sun
So young, so in love
We learned to see through each other's eyes
Through salty seas and summer evening skies
Oh, daughter of the water
I was your seeker of the sun

Limewire Alex made our fake IDs
Said "go wherever you wanna go as long as you've got these"
And so we didn't focus much on what might be our future
We were alive in the moment, cause that's what found us sooner
We'd eat hawaiian pizza and drink mai tais
Play crazy eights til sunrise
And listen to Marley all the way back home
Snuggling in the beach seat of Kehoe's old ford probe

Daughter of the water, I was your seeker of the sun
So young, so in love
We learned to see through each other's eyes
Through salty seas and summer evening skies
Oh, daughter of the water
I was your seeker of the sun

Oh
Oh
Daughter of the water
Do you remember me
I was your seeker of the sun
Daughter of the water
I was your seeker of the sun

about

Marc Ambrosia New Jersey

With Edge, his upcoming third studio album, Trendsetter Award winner Marc Ambrosia didn’t set out to write songs that would be considered “hip” or “current,” but rather “timeless” and “treasured.” Musically, the loop driven songs hypnotize. Lyrically, the conversational confessions mesmerize.

Edge is set to be released in full on October 28, 2022.
