Morning Tide

[Intro]
[Verse]
The salt is on the wood
I did the best I could
My journal's worn and thin
Where do I begin?
The porch steps feel so cold
A story left untold
I'm packing up the years
And drying all my fears
[Pre-Chorus]
The quiet in the hall
The shadows on the wall
I'm reaching for the door
I can't stay anymore
[Chorus]
The ferry starts to glide
Upon the morning tide
Gold light on the rail
I'm setting out to sail
A dream that's been asleep
A promise I will keep
I'm leaving home behind
To see what I can find
[Verse]
The keys are on the shelf
I'm talking to myself
The coffee's getting gray
It's time to walk away
My paperback is scuffed
I've finally had enough
Of playing every part
Inside this quiet heart
[Pre-Chorus]
The lighthouse fades from view
The sky is turning blue
I'm reaching for the light
I'm ending the long night
[Chorus]
The ferry starts to glide
Upon the morning tide
Gold light on the rail
I'm setting out to sail
A dream that's been asleep
A promise I will keep
I'm leaving home behind
To see what I can find
[Bridge]
It's not a grand escape
Just shifting of the shape
Of everything I knew
Of everything that's true
The ocean's getting wide
With nowhere left to hide
[Chorus]
The ferry starts to glide
Upon the morning tide
Gold light on the rail
I'm setting out to sail
A dream that's been asleep
A promise I will keep
I'm leaving home behind
To see what I can find
[Post-Chorus]
Just a simple girl
In a bigger world
Watching waves roll by
Underneath the sky
[Outro]
