Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The silver moon begins to rise Above the cliffs where sorrow lies My velvet cloak is heavy now A silent prayer, a broken vow The crumpled letter in my hand Is all I keep from solid land [Pre-Chorus] Tucked within the silk and lace I hide the memory of your face The ink is blurred by ocean spray As morning steals the stars away [Chorus] Sail away through the crashing white Follow the beam of the lonely light I’ll sing your name to the rising tide With nowhere left for my heart to hide Oh, the sea is wide But my love is deep inside [Post-Chorus] Ah, hear the cello cry Ah, beneath the indigo sky Wait for the morning light End this eternal night [Verse] Your ship is but a ghost of grey Drifting further into the bay The salt is stinging on my skin Where do you end and I begin? The harp is playing soft and low To tell the winds which way to go [Chorus] Sail away through the crashing white Follow the beam of the lonely light I’ll sing your name to the rising tide With nowhere left for my heart to hide Oh, the sea is wide But my love is deep inside [Bridge] I’ll wait upon this jagged shore Until the waves can give no more Through the winter, through the gale I’ll watch the horizon for your sail My voice will soar Forevermore [Solo] [Chorus] Sail away through the crashing white Follow the beam of the lonely light I’ll sing your name to the rising tide With nowhere left for my heart to hide Oh, the sea is wide But my love is deep inside [Outro]
