[Intro]
[Verse]
The tide brought a gift today
Wrapped in foam and salty spray
A wooden box of cedar gray
Resting where the seals play
I wiped the sand away
To see what it had to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Wind is humming low
Where do the secrets go?
The hinges start to show
A story we should know
[Chorus]
Oh, let the ocean speak
For the weary and the weak
A second chance to find
Everything we left behind
In the hollow of the wood
Life is understood
Softly understood
[Post-Chorus]
Driftwood and a silver key
Set the heavy spirit free
Just the box and me
By the silver sea
[Verse]
A thimble made of rusted tin
A map of where you might have been
A photograph of paper thin
A heart that's hidden deep within
I let the morning in
And feel the world begin
[Pre-Chorus]
The light is turning gold
Stories yet untold
A hand for me to hold
Against the winter cold
[Chorus]
Oh, let the ocean speak
For the weary and the weak
A second chance to find
Everything we left behind
In the hollow of the wood
Life is understood
Softly understood
[Bridge]
The lantern turns its head
To the things we never said
Tracing every line
Lost in salt and brine
Every little ghost
Floating near the coast
Is finally home at most
[Verse]
I’ll keep them on the mantle shelf
Beside the secrets of myself
A little bit of common wealth
Found in spirit, found in health
Moving with a quiet stealth
Like a secret on the shelf
[Chorus]
Oh, let the ocean speak
For the weary and the weak
A second chance to find
Everything we left behind
In the hollow of the wood
Life is understood
Softly understood
[Post-Chorus]
Driftwood and a silver key
Set the heavy spirit free
Just the box and me
By the silver sea
[Outro]
