Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Twenty years of salt and stone Keeping watch out here alone Windows crusted white with brine Waiting for your light to shine Foghorn moans across the bay Counting down another day [Pre-Chorus] I write your name in soot The ocean bites my foot I fold my heart so thin Waiting for the tide again [Chorus] Can you see the beacon fire? (Light it up!) Pulling through the storm and mire (Bring him home!) Twenty years of steady hands (Across the sands!) Now I see your colors fly (Underneath the sky!) The mast is tall and true (Coming back to you!) The harbor bells they ring (Hear the choir sing!) Break the bottle on the bow (You are with me now!) Safe within the Maine-state line (Everything is fine!) [Post-Chorus] Oh, the light is burning bright Guided through the black of night Oh, the light is burning bright Finally you’re in my sight [Verse] You send me cedar in the mail Scents of wood and canvas sail I read your words by kerosene Finest hand I’ve ever seen You build the hulls that cut the foam I build the light to lead you home [Pre-Chorus] The ink is fading fast The year is gone at last I fold my heart so thin Waiting for the tide again [Chorus] Can you see the beacon fire? (Light it up!) Pulling through the storm and mire (Bring him home!) Twenty years of steady hands (Across the sands!) Now I see your colors fly (Underneath the sky!) The mast is tall and true (Coming back to you!) The harbor bells they ring (Hear the choir sing!) Break the bottle on the bow (You are with me now!) Safe within the Maine-state line (Everything is fine!) [Bridge] Three hundred days of heavy rain A thousand ships without a stain I saved them all for one true prize The look of home inside your eyes The gears they grind and glass it turns The fire in the copper burns [Verse] The bioluminescent trail Follows like a silver veil The hull is dark and masts are tall I’m standing here to catch the fall The anchor drops and chain it rings My weary heart finally sings [Chorus] Can you see the beacon fire? (Light it up!) Pulling through the storm and mire (Bring him home!) Twenty years of steady hands (Across the sands!) Now I see your colors fly (Underneath the sky!) The mast is tall and true (Coming back to you!) The harbor bells they ring (Hear the choir sing!) Break the bottle on the bow (You are with me now!) Safe within the Maine-state line (Everything is fine!) [Outro]
