The Keeper's Jar

[Intro]
[Verse]
Gold light on the ledge
Right at the edge
Sorting green from the brown
While the sun settles down
Her hands in my mind
Leaving all shadows behind
[Chorus]
Oh, the tide brings it home
Through the white heavy foam
Bits of blue, bits of gray
Wash the sorrow away
In the jar on the sill
Time is standing still
With salt in the air
And wind in my hair
[Verse]
White tower in the haze
Ending all of the days
She would walk on the sand
With a jar in her hand
Looking for gems in the silt
Free of all of the guilt
[Pre-Chorus]
Gulls are circling the peak
For the secrets we seek
In the lavender glow
Where the wild briars grow
[Chorus]
Oh, the tide brings it home
Through the white heavy foam
Bits of blue, bits of gray
Wash the sorrow away
In the jar on the sill
Time is standing still
With salt in the air
And wind in my hair
[Bridge]
Was it a bottle of wine?
Or a lantern so fine?
Crushed by weight of the sea
Now it’s resting with me
Smooth as stone in the rain
Healing all of the pain
[Post-Chorus]
Glint in the sun
Now the day is done
Glint in the sun
Life has just begun
[Verse]
The cliffside is weathered and old
Like the stories she told
Of the ships in the night
Guided home by the light
Now the glass is my guide
Turning back with the tide
[Chorus]
Oh, the tide brings it home
Through the white heavy foam
Bits of blue, bits of gray
Wash the sorrow away
In the jar on the sill
Time is standing still
With salt in the air
And wind in my hair
[Outro]
