Saltwater Stains

[Intro]
[Verse]
Golden light on the floor
Walking past the door
I can’t find you anymore
Like a ghost from before
Dust is dancing in the heat
On this empty street
Where the sand and timber meet
[Pre-Chorus]
Pink sugar on the rail
Turning thin and pale
Like a paper sail
In a winter tale
[Chorus]
Oh, the carousel rings
Of the forgotten things
Where the salt air stings
And the memory clings
I hear you laugh again
Like a long-lost friend
Where the boardwalks end
[Post-Chorus]
Drifting through the mist
Like a secret kissed
Waiting to exist
In the light we missed
[Verse]
Hazy lines in the sky
As the gulls fly by
I begin to wonder why
With a heavy sigh
Echoes of a summer name
In a golden frame
Nothing feels the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Stains upon the ground
Silence all around
Lost and never found
In the ocean sound
[Chorus]
Oh, the carousel rings
Of the forgotten things
Where the salt air stings
And the memory clings
I hear you laugh again
Like a long-lost friend
Where the boardwalks end
[Bridge]
Slowly turning round
Feet above the ground
In the velvet light
Holding on so tight
Is it really you?
Is the feeling true?
Shades of honey blue
Passing through
[Breakdown]
Softly now
Show me how
Make a vow
Take a bow
[Chorus]
Oh, the carousel rings
Of the forgotten things
Where the salt air stings
And the memory clings
I hear you laugh again
Like a long-lost friend
Where the boardwalks end
[Outro]
