The Silver Beacon

[Intro]
[Verse]
The iron gate creaks a song
Where I have belonged for so long
A woolen shawl against the spray
To chase the silver mist away
My boots remember every stone
The tallest tower I have known
[Pre-Chorus]
Listen to the cor anglais cry
Across the violet evening sky
The harp strings hum a melody
Of secrets hidden by the sea
[Chorus]
Oh let the beacon spin once more
To light the path back to the shore
Through the salt-kissed gales of time
I hear the distant bell buoys chime
A golden flame within the night
I am the keeper of the light
[Verse]
Fifty years since the sky turned black
And none believed the fleet was back
I felt the thunder in my bones
Above the crashing undertones
The glass was cold against my palm
I prayed the waves would find their calm
[Chorus]
Oh let the beacon spin once more
To light the path back to the shore
Through the salt-kissed gales of time
I hear the distant bell buoys chime
A golden flame within the night
I am the keeper of the light
[Bridge]
Rising like a prayer on high
To meet the stars across the sky
Every soul that found the way
Is living in this light today
I see the sails upon the blue
The promise that I kept for you
[Verse]
The brass is polished bright and fair
There is a magic in the air
The grand piano starts to play
As shadows turn to golden day
I touch the railing worn and grey
The ghosts of storms have blown away
[Chorus]
Oh let the beacon spin once more
To light the path back to the shore
Through the salt-kissed gales of time
I hear the distant bell buoys chime
A golden flame within the night
I am the keeper of the light
[Post-Chorus]
The keeper of the light
Forever in the night
The silver beacon shines
[Outro]
