歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Salt-crusted stone beneath my feet Where wild Atlantic and granite meet My frayed wool shawl against the gale Looking for a ghost or a sail A glint of pearl in a jagged crack Calling the old light back [Pre-Chorus] Cold fingers pry the silver lid Where a secret stayed long hid Faded ink on a yellowed page A song to calm the ocean's rage [Chorus] Sing to the north where gannets fly Follow the star in the slate sky The tide will turn, the foam break For every heart the salt did take Come home to the Hebrides Across the swell of seven seas [Verse] I hum the notes she used to know While the uilleann pipes softly blow Down the crags to the harbor wall I hear the distant curlew's call The dulcimer mimics the falling rain Washing away the years of pain [Pre-Chorus] The rhythm beats inside the shell A story only the deep can tell I lift my voice to the morning air Answering a grandmother's prayer [Chorus] Sing to the north where gannets fly Follow the star in the slate sky The tide will turn, the foam break For every heart the salt did take Come home to the Hebrides Across the swell of seven seas [Bridge] The mist is lifting, sun is gold A story new from song of old Battered hull through white-flecked spray Chasing the shadows of the bay He stands there, a face I knew Ancient rhythm bringing him through [Chorus] Sing to the north where gannets fly Follow the star in the slate sky The tide will turn, the foam break For every heart the salt did take Come home to the Hebrides Across the swell of seven seas [Post-Chorus] He’s coming home No more to roam Across the white foam He’s coming home [Verse] The lighthouse beams a steady hand Across the reaches of the sand The silver locket stays in my palm Bringing the restless water calm The shanty verses found their way To end the long and lonely stay [Outro]
