Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Salt-crusted iron on the spiral stair You stand there with your long brown hair Seventeen years and a heavy silence Outside the waves are showing violence I hand you a wrench and an oily rag You look at the coast and your shoulders sag [Verse] The glass is cracked in the Fresnel lens We’re making do and we’re making amends The thunder rolls like a heavy drum Waiting for the feeling to finally come Rubbing the grime from the copper plate Trying to fix what we left to fate [Pre-Chorus] The wind howls through the granite wall I catch your eyes before you fall The cider’s hot on the cold stone floor We ain’t the ghosts we were before [Chorus] So let the beam cut the heavy grey Wash all the bitter years away It’s a small light for a big sea But it’s enough for you and me Yeah, it’s a second chance at dawn To keep the fire burning on [Post-Chorus] Keep it burning on Till the dark is gone Keep it burning on In the early dawn [Verse] Day two and the rain is a silver sheet You found the rhythm and you found the beat Polishing brass till the metal glows That’s how a family story goes You ask about the ships I used to guide I see the boy who used to hide [Pre-Chorus] The wind howls through the granite wall I catch your eyes before you fall The cider’s hot on the cold stone floor We ain’t the ghosts we were before [Chorus] So let the beam cut the heavy grey Wash all the bitter years away It’s a small light for a big sea But it’s enough for you and me Yeah, it’s a second chance at dawn To keep the fire burning on [Bridge] The gears are grinding, the oil is thick Strike the match on the kerosene wick The storm is screaming, the world is black But there ain’t no way we’re turning back Lift the lever, watch it turn We got a lot of life to learn [Solo] [Chorus] So let the beam cut the heavy grey Wash all the bitter years away It’s a small light for a big sea But it’s enough for you and me Yeah, it’s a second chance at dawn To keep the fire burning on [Chorus] So let the beam cut the heavy grey Wash all the bitter years away It’s a small light for a big sea But it’s enough for you and me Yeah, it’s a second chance at dawn To keep the fire burning on [Outro]
