Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The treadle hums a steady beat Wool is soft beneath my feet Thistle down and woolly twine In this little house of mine High upon the jagged peak Where the salt and heather meet I weave the colors of the bay Into the fading light of day [Pre-Chorus] Grandmother whispered by the fire Stirring up a deep desire Watch the moon begin to rise With the magic in your eyes [Chorus] Oh, the silver tide is rising Hear the ancient spirits sighing Leaving charms upon the sand From a distant, hidden land Seashells woven in the light Underneath the moon so white It’s the selkie’s gift to keep While the tired village sleeps [Post-Chorus] Lay the shuttle down In this coastal town Listen to the sound Of the sea [Verse] She told me of the velvet skin Shed before the tide comes in Maidens dancing on the reef Far beyond all human grief They leave a token on the dune Singing to a haunting tune A spiral shell, a bit of lace In a secret, sandy place [Pre-Chorus] I can smell the spray of brine Waiting for a holy sign Grandmother knew the ocean’s way At the closing of the day [Chorus] Oh, the silver tide is rising Hear the ancient spirits sighing Leaving charms upon the sand From a distant, hidden land Seashells woven in the light Underneath the moon so white It’s the selkie’s gift to keep While the tired village sleeps [Bridge] I can feel the ocean’s pull When the winter moon is full Patterns in the cloth I weave Secrets that I still believe One for love and one for home One for those who choose to roam Salt is on the window pane Mixing with the summer rain [Instrumental] [Verse] I walked down the rocky path Safe from every winter’s wrath Found a gift within the grass Clear and bright as polished glass Just a shell with silk entwined Something that she left behind Now I weave it in the fleece Bringing my old heart some peace [Chorus] Oh, the silver tide is rising Hear the ancient spirits sighing Leaving charms upon the sand From a distant, hidden land Seashells woven in the light Underneath the moon so white It’s the selkie’s gift to keep While the tired village sleeps [Post-Chorus] Lay the shuttle down In this coastal town Listen to the sound Of the sea [Break] [Hook] Silver tide, silver line Make the ancient magic mine Silver tide, silver line Everything will be just fine [Outro]
