Swaying with the wind and water
Skin to skin, mother to daughter
Dreamin the same dreams about their daughter

Although her compass is revered
It lacks her mother's inner ear
That's kept the two together all these years

The ocean hummed hello my child
Let's rock together for a while
And when the sun comes up i'll carry you to shore

And when you strum on your guitar
Lift your eyes up to the north star
And know that it's reflecting on me
Evermore

When the wake is in between
The crashing waves it often seems
That it has caught her
In it's salty schemes

Schemes to take her child someday
Through webs of landless interplay
To depths too deep to fear
Or wash away

But when everybody's justified
To say that everybody lied,
They all forgot that everybody dies

It sees them in their suffering
And gathers all the air they breath
And sends it to
The inner living being,
The inner living being

The ocean hummed hello my child
Let's rock together for a while
And when the sun comes up i'll carry you to shore

And when you strum on your guitar
Lift your eyes up to the north star
And know that it's reflecting on me
Evermore
Evermore
Evermore

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
