Salt and Stone

[Intro]
[Verse]
The salt air bites my skin
Where the jagged rocks begin
I stand upon the edge
Keeping an old pledge
The piano hums a low D
Where the sky meets the sea
Cello bows begin to weep
Secrets that the waters keep
[Chorus]
Oh, let the gulls fly high
Against the winter sky
I watch the driftwood go
With the tides that ebb and flow
I’m finding my own way
In the light of a new day
Grace in every breath
Life beyond this death
[Verse]
Your voice is in the wind
Where our shared story thinned
The nylon strings play soft
While the birds soar aloft
I drop the heavy weight
Of a love that came too late
Warm chords fill the space
In this wild and lonely place
[Pre-Chorus]
The clicks of time go on
Before the night is gone
The timpani starts to beat
Beneath my tired feet
I feel the rhythm change
Nothing feels so strange
[Chorus]
Oh, let the gulls fly high
Against the winter sky
I watch the driftwood go
With the tides that ebb and flow
I’m finding my own way
In the light of a new day
Grace in every breath
Life beyond this death
[Bridge]
I am not broken by the storm
I am keeping myself warm
The cello sings a deeper prayer
Through the cold and misty air
I reclaim the quiet spark
In the center of the dark
No more looking back now
I will make a new vow
[Hook]
Carry it away
To the end of the bay
Carry it away
Let the blue turn to gray
[Chorus]
Oh, let the gulls fly high
Against the winter sky
I watch the driftwood go
With the tides that ebb and flow
I’m finding my own way
In the light of a new day
Grace in every breath
Life beyond this death
[Post-Chorus]
Salt and stone
I am not alone
Salt and stone
I have finally grown
Into the light
Into the light
[Outro]
