V1
The night was cool, the sky was dark,
The moon was low and thin.
She took me to a place that night.
I should have never been
What she gave she took away,
On lonely lovers beach
Mumblin’ moanin’ fumblin’ love
That seemed so out of reach
(Lift)
Her skin was soft as angel wings,
Her eyes Bahama blue.
(Chorus)
I felt oceans crashing deep inside
Like a hurricane swept right through my mind
I knew she just chewed up my pride
But I was too blind to see
On the sultry shores of Malibu
I could taste that bittersweet taboo
And I don’t know to this day, what came over me.
V2
I should have run, I should have walked away
As I smelled her perfume
I’d heard of games she made men play
Without any rules
She’s like a siren in the night
Who could resist the tune
I knew that something wasn’t right
Inside that blue lagoon.
(Lift)
Her skin was soft as angel wings,
Her eyes Bahama blue.
(Jason Mento on Guitar)
(Bridge)
With passion dancing in the tide
And love made in moonlight hues
My mind goes back in time
(Chorus)
I felt oceans crashing deep inside,
Like a hurricane swept right through my mind,
I knew she just chewed up my pride,
But I was too blind to see.
On the sultry shores of Malibu,
I could taste that bittersweet taboo,
And I don’t know to this day what came over me - X3

Now that's a blast from the past seeing Vlad and Jason working with you on this. Haven't seen those guys around in years!
And it's a great combo! Love this song. I think the lift is my favorite part.
In the chorus it feels like the vocal should go up rather than down, but I'm assuming that was a bit of a stretch for Vlad!
I like the waves lapping at the end, but the voice over at the start feels a tad too much to me.
Jason's guitar works really well too.
Good song!
