Shattered Tide

[Intro]
[Verse]
The furnace fire dies low
Red embers lose their glow
The evening shadows grow
The heavy tides move slow
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are stained with sand
You left this hollow land
With crystal in your hand
Just like we both had planned
[Chorus]
A goblet carved in blue
I etched my name with you
The salt spray hides the view
The morning light was true
Now drifting through the deep
The promises we keep
While all the angels sleep
And lonely widows weep
[Verse]
A mandolin plays far
Beneath a silver star
I wonder where you are
Behind the harbor bar
The water ripples thin
Where love has always been
A soft and glass-like sin
To let the winter in
[Pre-Chorus]
The cooling silica turns white
Against the coming night
I lost the only light
That kept my spirit bright
[Chorus]
A goblet carved in blue
I etched my name with you
The salt spray hides the view
The morning light was true
Now drifting through the deep
The promises we keep
While all the angels sleep
And lonely widows weep
[Bridge]
Shards of light on stone
I face the dark alone
The secrets that were sown
In seeds of brittle bone
The glass is sharp and cold
A story never told
In silver and in gold
The secrets we both hold
[Verse]
The gondola is still
Against the marble sill
I've lost the iron will
To climb the bridge's hill
Your ghost is in the glass
Where silent shadows pass
Beneath the green morass
Across the empty piazza grass
[Chorus]
A goblet carved in blue
I etched my name with you
The salt spray hides the view
The morning light was true
Now drifting through the deep
The promises we keep
While all the angels sleep
And lonely widows weep
[Outro]
