Salt and Wool

[Intro]
[Verse]
The road was long and gray
I’ve walked for many a day
With silver in my hair
And stories left to share
My shawl smells of the sea
It’s clinging close to me
The harbor lights are gold
A story to be told
[Pre-Chorus]
The latch is cold and thin
But warmth is locked within
I push the heavy oak
And smell the peat and smoke
[Chorus]
Oh let the fiddle play
I’ve found my home today
The cider’s in the mug
I feel the heavy hug
Of rafters low and wide
With family deep inside
We’re swaying side to side
With nothing left to hide
[Verse]
There’s Danny by the fire
His bow will never tire
He plays the ancient tune
Beneath the rising moon
My mug is on the shelf
A shadow of myself
With that little jagged chip
Waiting for my lip
[Pre-Chorus]
The floorboards hum and creak
The words I cannot speak
Are written on my face
In this familiar place
[Chorus]
Oh let the fiddle play
I’ve found my home today
The cider’s in the mug
I feel the heavy hug
Of rafters low and wide
With family deep inside
We’re swaying side to side
With nothing left to hide
[Bridge]
Three years of loom and thread
With stars above my head
I wove the mountain mist
And every road I missed
But now the pattern’s clear
My heart is anchored here
The weaving’s finally done
Beneath the Irish sun
[Post-Chorus]
Bare feet on the wood
Life is finally good
Laughter in the air
Friends from everywhere
Spinning round the floor
I’m traveling no more
[Chorus]
Oh let the fiddle play
I’ve found my home today
The cider’s in the mug
I feel the heavy hug
Of rafters low and wide
With family deep inside
We’re swaying side to side
With nothing left to hide
[Outro]
