The Gilded Sail

[Intro]
[Verse]
The salt has etched the stone
I’ve lived here all alone
The beacon turns its head
To words we never said
The waves they call your name
The stars remain the same
I keep the glass so clear
For when you might appear
[Pre-Chorus]
A silver thread across the deep
A promise that I had to keep
My breath is caught within the air
A silent, long-forgotten prayer
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light find the sail
Love will never fail
Through the mist and the grey
You have found the way
The horizon is breaking wide
With the turning of the tide
My heart is home at last
The lonely years have passed
[Verse]
The white cloth catches gold
A story to be told
It’s not a ghost I see
But you returning to me
I touch the iron rail
I watch the rising sail
The harbor starts to glow
The only truth I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the spirit start to rise
I see the fire in your eyes
The winter of my soul is gone
I see the breaking of the dawn
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light find the sail
Love will never fail
Through the mist and the grey
You have found the way
The horizon is breaking wide
With the turning of the tide
My heart is home at last
The lonely years have passed
[Bridge]
Strike the drum, let the heavens ring!
Hear the song that the angels sing!
Forty years in the shadows cast
Now the morning has come at last!
Higher than the spray of the sea
You are coming back to me!
Back to me!
[Chorus]
Oh, let the light find the sail
Love will never fail
Through the mist and the grey
You have found the way
The horizon is breaking wide
With the turning of the tide
My heart is home at last
The lonely years have passed
[Post-Chorus]
Home at last
My rising sun
Faith has won
My only one
[Outro]
