Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] I pull the wool at my cuff The ocean’s never enough Salt has clouded the glass Watching the decades pass I keep the wick burning bright Through the ghost of the night [Pre-Chorus] The riptide foams in white and gold A story that was never told The blood-orange sun begins to fold My heart is growing brave and bold [Chorus] Sail to the edge of the deep Wake from the long, lonely sleep The light will never die Beneath the heavy sky I set the memory free Across the endless sea No more tears to weep The promise that I keep [Verse] Tattered charts on the floor I don't need them anymore Stars are mapped in my mind Leaving the shadows behind Stormy kisses on the sand Still feel the heat of your hand [Pre-Chorus] The riptide foams in white and gold A story that was never told The blood-orange sun begins to fold My heart is growing brave and bold [Chorus] Sail to the edge of the deep Wake from the long, lonely sleep The light will never die Beneath the heavy sky I set the memory free Across the endless sea No more tears to weep The promise that I keep [Bridge] Break the lens and let it shine You were yours and I was mine Thunder rolls across the bay Washing all the grief away Rising up to meet the sky This is not a long goodbye [Verse] The lantern flickers and fades In the evening’s dark shades I remember the spray On that terrible day When the hull hit the reef And I drowned in my grief [Chorus] Sail to the edge of the deep Wake from the long, lonely sleep The light will never die Beneath the heavy sky I set the memory free Across the endless sea No more tears to weep The promise that I keep [Post-Chorus] I’m letting go of the ghost Leaving the edge of the coast To the one I loved the most A final, silent toast [Outro]
