The Unfinished Score

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nThe cliffside gate is cold\nThe morning air turns gold\nI walk the stone path alone\nTo find the house I’ve known\nThe salt air stings my eyes\nUnder the pale gray skies\n\n[Verse]\nThe window latch is rusted shut\nIn the corner of this dusty hut\nI see the ink upon the page\nYellowed by a lonely age\nNotes that stop mid-air\nLike a silent, frozen prayer\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nThe viola starts to weep\nFrom a memory buried deep\nHarp strings catch the spray\nAt the breaking of the day\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the music you left behind\nIn the silence I hope to find\nGilded strings and the morning light\nBreaking through the longest night\nMother, can you hear me sing?\nOn the breath of a seabird’s wing\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nThe tide is coming in\nWhere you end, I begin\nRising high, soaring free\nOver the emerald sea\n\n[Verse]\nThe fingerpicking starts to play\nChasing all the ghosts away\nSunlight hits the violin wood\nJust like you said it would\nA melody of salt and foam\nCalling every wanderer home\n\n[Bridge]\nI take the pen and draw the line\nYour melody is now mine\nAcross the ocean, past the foam\nThis song will lead us home\nNo more shadows, no more fear\nHeaven feels so very near\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, the music you left behind\nIn the silence I hope to find\nGilded strings and the morning light\nBreaking through the longest night\nMother, can you hear me sing?\nOn the breath of a seabird’s wing\n\n[Hook]\nGilded strings\nSeabird wings\nGilded strings\nSeabird wings\n\n[Outro]
