Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Salt on the window pane Echoes of the falling rain Third man to walk this floor Locking up the heavy door Superior is cold and wide Watching the evening tide [Pre-Chorus] Underneath the floorboard wood Found a book where he stood Ink is faded, pages thin Where the story must begin [Chorus] He was more than just a light Guiding ships through the night He kept the fire burning low For the ones with nowhere to go A legacy of silent grace Hidden in this lonely place [Post-Chorus] Oh, the light he gave Over every crashing wave Keeping secrets in the dark Leaving such a quiet mark [Verse] Nineteen seventy-four A knock upon the bottom door Two kids with nowhere to run Hiding from the morning sun He gave them coffee and a bed Keeping all the words unsaid [Pre-Chorus] Steel guitar begins to swell Stories that he’d never tell Not for glory or for fame Just to help a hollow name [Chorus] He was more than just a light Guiding ships through the night He kept the fire burning low For the ones with nowhere to go A legacy of silent grace Hidden in this lonely place [Bridge] Now I hold the brass lamp tight In the middle of the night Every flicker is a ghost Of the ones who needed most A kindness that was never told Warming up the winter cold [Verse] The foghorn calls across the bay Just like it did back in his day I see the names written in lead Of the hungry souls he fed They found a harbor in his hand The kindest man in all the land [Chorus] He was more than just a light Guiding ships through the night He kept the fire burning low For the ones with nowhere to go A legacy of silent grace Hidden in this lonely place [Post-Chorus] Oh, the light he gave Over every crashing wave Keeping secrets in the dark Leaving such a quiet mark [Outro]
