Write English lyrics for a Celtic-classical crossover pop track, 78 BPM, D major, ethereal pure-toned female vocal in the vein of Méav and Celtic Woman. Core instrumentation: lever harp, low whistle, string orchestra, bodhrán, subtle ambient synth pads replacing Uilleann pipes. Theme: a young lighthouse keeper on the west coast of Ireland exchanging wordless, gentle goodnights with the seal colonies that gather on the rocks below her post each dusk. Weave imagery of salt-kissed granite, bioluminescent wave crests, and faint distant ship lights. Emotion is soft, quiet wonder, gentle kinship with the natural world, and faint, warm nostalgic comfort. Narrative follows her watching the seals drift off to sleep as the first stars prick the indigo sky.

Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold granite stands tall
As the shadows fall
The lantern starts to glow
For the sea below
Salt on my skin
The tide rolling in
[Pre-Chorus]
Blue fire in the wave
The secrets they gave
Shining so bright
Through the fading light
[Chorus]
Rest your head on the stone
You are never alone
Sleep now, my friends of the deep
Promises we will keep
Under the indigo sky
I sing my lullaby
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, drift away
At the end of the day
Ooh, let it stay
In the silver spray
[Verse]
Far ships pass by
Under the velvet sky
Your dark eyes meet mine
In the pale starshine
No words need be said
On your rocky bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Blue fire in the wave
The secrets they gave
Shining so bright
Through the fading light
[Chorus]
Rest your head on the stone
You are never alone
Sleep now, my friends of the deep
Promises we will keep
Under the indigo sky
I sing my lullaby
[Bridge]
The ocean is our home
Across the white foam
We share the same dream
In the moon's cold beam
Until the night is done
We sleep as one
[Chorus]
Rest your head on the stone
You are never alone
Sleep now, my friends of the deep
Promises we will keep
Under the indigo sky
I sing my lullaby
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, drift away
At the end of the day
Ooh, let it stay
In the silver spray
[Outro]
