The Keeper's Light

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt spray on my skin
Where the tides begin
Weathered wood beneath my palm
In the evening calm
Orange-pink across the blue
Thinking back to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear your voice in the wind
Where the rocky shore is thinned
You said the mist is just a veil
To help the weary sailors sail
[Chorus]
Golden hour, golden lens
Where the heavy darkness ends
I see the ship glide through the grey
Just the way you’d lead the way
Keep your heart a steady flame
Whisper every traveler’s name
Hope is rising with the tide
With you walking by my side
[Post-Chorus]
Steady light
In the night
Burning bright
Guiding sight
[Verse]
Copper gears and silver dust
Faith that never gathered rust
You held the oil, I held the light
Through the longest winter night
Now the seagulls drift above
In this atmosphere of love
[Pre-Chorus]
The ocean hums a quiet tune
Beneath the rising of the moon
You told me grace is like the sea
Endless and forever free
[Chorus]
Golden hour, golden lens
Where the heavy darkness ends
I see the ship glide through the grey
Just the way you’d lead the way
Keep your heart a steady flame
Whisper every traveler’s name
Hope is rising with the tide
With you walking by my side
[Bridge]
The chimes are singing in the air
Like a soft and silent prayer
The world is wide and deep and cold
But I have the stories that you told
I am the keeper of the spark
Dancing through the velvet dark
[Verse]
The distant hull begins to fade
Safe within the path we made
I touch the railing, smooth and old
Worth more than any pirate’s gold
The sun is dipping low and sweet
Where the sky and water meet
[Chorus]
Golden hour, golden lens
Where the heavy darkness ends
I see the ship glide through the grey
Just the way you’d lead the way
Keep your heart a steady flame
Whisper every traveler’s name
Hope is rising with the tide
With you walking by my side
[Post-Chorus]
Steady light
In the night
Burning bright
Guiding sight
[Outro]
