The Glass Tide

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Fog rolls in thick
Boot prints don't stick
Salt on my skin
Where the waves begin
Looking for green
Things left unseen
Deep in the gray
Washed far away
[Verse 2]
Bent at the knee
Sifting the sea
Gifts from the deep
Secrets I keep
Sharp edges gone
Life moving on
Before the dawn
Shadows are drawn
[Pre-Chorus]
The sky turns a shade of blue-black
Wishing that I could go back
To the summer we spent by the dock
Before we both ran out of clock
[Chorus]
I collect the broken bits
Where the heavy water hits
Every piece a silent word
That you never even heard
Chasing after every ghost
On the lonely grayest coast
Gifts the ocean floor has tossed
Finding everything we lost
[Verse 3]
Found a blue shard
Life can be hard
Rare as a dream
Or so it would seem
You moved away
Nothing to say
West of the sun
When we were done
[Bridge]
I wrote your name in mist
On a list of things I missed
Postcard in my coat
A line I never wrote
[Chorus]
I collect the broken bits
Where the heavy water hits
Every piece a silent word
That you never even heard
Chasing after every ghost
On the lonely grayest coast
Gifts the ocean floor has tossed
Finding everything we lost
[Post-Chorus]
Green glass shore
I don't mind the rain no more
Green glass shore
Walking till my feet are sore
[Verse 4]
The tide's coming in
Where do I begin
The water is high
To say a goodbye?
The stamp's on the edge
Sitting on the ledge
The ink's getting dry
Looking at the heavy sky
[Outro]
