[Intro]
[Verse]
The rust is eating at the gate
But we can make the water wait
I taped the schedule to the glass
Today the big rigs shall not pass
The morning salt is in the air
We’re staying in the captain’s chair
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffee’s steaming in the pot
In the only space we’ve got
Hear the dobro start to hum
See the townspeople have come
[Chorus]
Oh, keep the ferry in the bay
We’re holding back the tide today
The shore is ours to keep and hold
It’s worth much more than private gold
[Verse]
Little Jimmy skips a stone
This beach is all he’s ever known
Mrs. Miller brings the soup
To feed the weary local group
The wheelhouse clock is ticking slow
We’ve got nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
Oh, keep the ferry in the bay
We’re holding back the tide today
The shore is ours to keep and hold
It’s worth much more than private gold
[Bridge]
Let the engines idle low
Watch the public spirit grow
From a murmur to a roar
Walking on the common shore
No more fences, no more locks
Just the wind across the rocks
[Solo]
[Verse]
The builders came with pens and ink
To push us to the very brink
They want to buy the ocean view
And take the sand from me and you
But every knot we tie is tight
To keep the harbor in the light
[Chorus]
Oh, keep the ferry in the bay
We’re holding back the tide today
The shore is ours to keep and hold
It’s worth much more than private gold
[Hook]
Slow the water, save the sand
Hand in hand across the land
Slow the water, save the sand
Hand in hand across the land
[Chorus]
Oh, keep the ferry in the bay
We’re holding back the tide today
The shore is ours to keep and hold
It’s worth much more than private gold
[Outro]
