about

'Kaikoura' is named after a town on the coast of New Zealand's South Island. It is one of my favorite places in the world, and it is the setting for many of my happiest memories. Music has a way of transporting you to another time and place, and whenever I play Kaikoura, I feel like I am once again on the pebble beach, looking out across the water at the mountains in the distance. I hope you all can join me there :)

lyrics

Coronas in our pockets
Night falls on the beach
You can still see the mountains
just out of reach

Pebbles through your fingers
as I play my guitar
Gather all the driftwood
we'll make a fire

Will you be my love tonight?
Will you be my love tomorrow?
Will you sit on the beach, right here with me
while we watch the fire die?

The night is getting colder
Breeze comes from the sea
Your arm wrapped round my shoulder
feels right to me

Ooh
Ooh
Finally home

I will be your love tonight
I will be your love tomorrow
I will sit on the beach, if you'll sit here with me
while we watch the fire die
while we watch the fire die
