Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Faded ink on a yellowed page From a simpler, wilder age She watched the waves from the tower height Guiding the sailors through the night Nineteen-fifty, the storms were cold In the letters that I hold [Pre-Chorus] I hear the foghorn’s lonely hum Waiting for the dawn to come The mist is thick against the glass Watching all the shadows pass [Chorus] Oh, the lantern’s glow remains Through the salt and through the rains She saved the ships upon the sea But who is there to rescue me? My heart is quiet, heart is still Breaking on the window sill Like the tide, I rise and fall Answering the ocean’s call [Verse] The pier is worn by winter spray Just like the words you didn’t say She kept the fire, she kept the flame While I’m just whispering your name The ink is dry, the grief is new Reading how she pulled them through [Pre-Chorus] I hear the foghorn’s lonely hum Waiting for the dawn to come The mist is thick against the glass Watching all the shadows pass [Chorus] Oh, the lantern’s glow remains Through the salt and through the rains She saved the ships upon the sea But who is there to rescue me? My heart is quiet, heart is still Breaking on the window sill Like the tide, I rise and fall Answering the ocean’s call [Bridge] The storm of fifty-four was blind She left a map for me to find Between the lines of black and white I see a different kind of light Though my love has drifted far She is still my northern star [Chorus] Oh, the lantern’s glow remains Through the salt and through the rains She saved the ships upon the sea But who is there to rescue me? My heart is quiet, heart is still Breaking on the window sill Like the tide, I rise and fall Answering the ocean’s call [Outro]
