歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] The screen door swings on a rusty hinge The ocean has a greyish tinge I walk across the hollow hall Shadows stretch against the wall [Verse] In the corner sits a jar Tattered edges, frosted green Bits of light from very far The clearest blue I’ve ever seen I run my thumb along the grit Remembering how we gathered it [Chorus] She told me stories of the gale How the moon looks thin and pale Love is just a paper sail Even if the anchors fail [Post-Chorus] Oh, the tide comes in Oh, the tide begins [Break] [Verse] She sat here in the wicker chair Sea salt tangled in her hair She spoke of ships that lost their way And why the sky turns shades of grey The Wurlitzer hums a low refrain Like soft footsteps in the lane [Pre-Chorus] The glass is smooth, the edges gone The night is fading into dawn I hold the pieces in my palm Finding a strange and steady calm [Chorus] She told me stories of the gale How the moon looks thin and pale Love is just a paper sail Even if the anchors fail [Bridge] The harmonium breathes a heavy sigh Underneath a violet sky Years have washed the sharp parts clean Just like the glass in shades of green I finally see what she meant In every summer evening spent [Hook] Salt in the seams Lost in the dreams The ocean redeems Or so it seems [Chorus] She told me stories of the gale How the moon looks thin and pale Love is just a paper sail Even if the anchors fail [Outro]
