Salt and Silver Ink

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nPink twilight paints the bay\nThe gulls all fly away\nI find the wooden chest\nWhere all her secrets rest\nA fraying woollen shawl\nDraped against the wall\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nI touch the salt-kissed page\nYellowed deep with age\nThe ink is fading slow\nIn the lantern’s brassy glow\n\n[Chorus]\nBioluminescent blue in hue\nTracing lines of you\nAcross the shifting deep\nPromises you keep\nA sailor’s heart in flight\nGuided by the light\nOh, the love she held\nIn the words he spelled\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nWaiting for the tide\nWith arms open wide\nSearching through the sea\nFor what used to be\n\n[Verse]\nThe tide begins to rise\nReflecting in my eyes\nHe wrote of distant shores\nAnd how his soul was yours\nThe parchment feels so thin\nWhere the waves begin\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nThe ink begins to blur\nA memory of her\nThe lighthouse starts to spin\nLetting the starlight in\n\n[Chorus]\nBioluminescent blue in hue\nTracing lines of you\nAcross the shifting deep\nPromises you keep\nA sailor’s heart in flight\nGuided by the light\nOh, the love she held\nIn the words he spelled\n\n[Bridge]\nThe timpani of storms\nWhere the water forms\nDecades lost to spray\nWashed the years away\nBut the chimes still ring\nOf the songs they sing\n\n[Verse]\nI fold the paper small\nAnswering the call\nThe lighthouse beam is wide\nTurning with the tide\nI feel the ocean air\nTangled in my hair\n\n[Chorus]\nBioluminescent blue in hue\nTracing lines of you\nAcross the shifting deep\nPromises you keep\nA sailor’s heart in flight\nGuided by the light\nOh, the love she held\nIn the words he spelled\n\n[Outro]
