The Salt-Sea Plume

[Intro]
[Verse]
The morning fog is low
Where wild sea oats grow
I walk the sandy crest
To find the empty nest
The cliffs are wet with dew
The sky is pale and blue
[Pre-Chorus]
My grandmother once told
Of stories in the air
Of wings that turn to gold
And take away our care
[Chorus]
I gather up the white plume
Beside the yellow bloom
The ocean sings a song
To carry us along
And clear the heavy gloom
Above the salt-sea flume
[Verse]
A feather in my hand
Left on the damp coastal sand
She said they hold the light
Of birds in flight
The clover starts to wake
As golden dawn begins to break
[Pre-Chorus]
Her voice is in the breeze
That whispers through the grass
It puts my heart at ease
To watch the shadows pass
[Chorus]
I gather up the white plume
Beside the yellow bloom
The ocean sings a song
To carry us along
And clear the heavy gloom
Above the salt-sea flume
[Bridge]
The salt is on my tongue
The morning is still young
We leave our fears behind
With peace of mind
The gulls begin to cry
Across the open sky
[Chorus]
I gather up the white plume
Beside the yellow bloom
The ocean sings a song
To carry us along
And clear the heavy gloom
Above the salt-sea flume
[Post-Chorus]
The wind will blow
And we will know
The tides will flow
It's time to go
[Outro]
