Silver Mist Ferry

[Intro]
[Verse]
The rain is tapping on the glass
Watching all the shadows pass
Pull up a chair, pour a drink
Give us both some time to think
I’m thinking of a midnight boat
Where we kept our dreams afloat
[Pre-Chorus]
The upright bass begins to walk
It’s much too quiet here to talk
But every note is like a sign
Of a life I left behind
[Chorus]
Oh, that ferry ride
With the rising tide
We were side by side
Nowhere left to hide
Just a stranger’s smile
For a little while
In a perfect style
[Post-Chorus]
Lost in the blue
Finding the new
Just me and you
Passing on through
[Verse]
The harbor mist was turning grey
I saw a ghost from yesterday
Leaning on the cold iron rail
Watching for a phantom sail
You had a light within your eyes
Underneath those heavy skies
[Hook]
Midnight on the river
Felt a little shiver
Love was the deliver
Arrow from a quiver
[Bridge]
The engine hummed a low D-flat
We talked of this and talked of that
No past to haunt, no future plan
Just a woman and a man
Lost inside a silver haze
In a soft and rhythmic maze
[Verse]
We shared a match to light the dark
Waiting for a tiny spark
The water slapped against the hull
The conversation never dull
An hour felt like twenty years
Drowning out our silent fears
[Chorus]
Oh, that ferry ride
With the rising tide
We were side by side
Nowhere left to hide
Just a stranger’s smile
For a little while
In a perfect style
[Breakdown]
Brushed drums on the floor
Who could ask for more?
Open up the door
To the golden shore
[Verse]
The dock appeared through salty air
You smoothed your messy, tangled hair
We walked away in separate ways
Back into the city maze
But in this bar, I feel the chill
Of the water standing still
[Outro]
