[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt-crusted stone beneath my feet
Where wild Atlantic and granite meet
My frayed wool shawl against the gale
Looking for a ghost or a sail
A glint of pearl in a jagged crack
Calling the old light back
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold fingers pry the silver lid
Where a secret stayed long hid
Faded ink on a yellowed page
A song to calm the ocean's rage
[Chorus]
Sing to the north where gannets fly
Follow the star in the slate sky
The tide will turn, the foam break
For every heart the salt did take
Come home to the Hebrides
Across the swell of seven seas
[Verse]
I hum the notes she used to know
While the uilleann pipes softly blow
Down the crags to the harbor wall
I hear the distant curlew's call
The dulcimer mimics the falling rain
Washing away the years of pain
[Pre-Chorus]
The rhythm beats inside the shell
A story only the deep can tell
I lift my voice to the morning air
Answering a grandmother's prayer
[Chorus]
Sing to the north where gannets fly
Follow the star in the slate sky
The tide will turn, the foam break
For every heart the salt did take
Come home to the Hebrides
Across the swell of seven seas
[Bridge]
The mist is lifting, sun is gold
A story new from song of old
Battered hull through white-flecked spray
Chasing the shadows of the bay
He stands there, a face I knew
Ancient rhythm bringing him through
[Chorus]
Sing to the north where gannets fly
Follow the star in the slate sky
The tide will turn, the foam break
For every heart the salt did take
Come home to the Hebrides
Across the swell of seven seas
[Post-Chorus]
He’s coming home
No more to roam
Across the white foam
He’s coming home
[Verse]
The lighthouse beams a steady hand
Across the reaches of the sand
The silver locket stays in my palm
Bringing the restless water calm
The shanty verses found their way
To end the long and lonely stay
[Outro]
