Salt and Faded Ink

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt on the glass
The long months pass
Frayed wool on my skin
The cold creeps in
The lantern light is low
The heavy shadows grow
I watch the water gleam
Inside a broken dream
[Pre-Chorus]
The tide begins to fall
I hear a distant call
It whispers in the dark
Without a single spark
[Chorus]
An unlit ship goes by
Under a heavy sky
I hold your faded page
Still locked inside this cage
The water starts to sigh
And I forget to cry
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, drift away
Mmm, shadows gray
Mmm, do not stay
Mmm, fade to day
[Verse]
The fog banks start to rise
It blinds my tired eyes
A horn blows far away
And speaks of yesterday
The music box is slow
Its silver gears let go
I hear the wind complain
Against the windowpane
[Pre-Chorus]
The tide begins to fall
I hear a distant call
It whispers in the dark
Without a single spark
[Chorus]
An unlit ship goes by
Under a heavy sky
I hold your faded page
Still locked inside this cage
The water starts to sigh
And I forget to cry
[Bridge]
The sea will never send you home
I watch the cold and white sea foam
Your ink is growing very pale
Lost in the shadow of a sail
I wear your heavy coat
And watch the timber float
The harbor has no sound
Where nothing can be found
[Chorus]
An unlit ship goes by
Under a heavy sky
I hold your faded page
Still locked inside this cage
The water starts to sigh
And I forget to cry
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, drift away
Mmm, shadows gray
Mmm, do not stay
Mmm, fade to day
[Outro]
