歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Thirty years in this wool coat Watching every fishing boat Salt is crusted on the glass Watching all the seasons pass The fog is heavy on the bay I wash the winter grime away My boots are heavy on the floor I’ve seen a thousand storms before [Verse] I have letters in a drawer From a brother seen no more He was lost to deep blue swells Ringing all the harbor bells I keep the wick burning bright Through every lonely winter night I scan the edge of every wave For the ones I couldn't save [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the gulls cry? Underneath a bruised gray sky The floor tom starts to beat Like the pulse beneath my feet The banjo starts to ring And the coastal spirits sing [Chorus] Raise a glass to the steady hand Guiding souls back to the land Through the gale and through the black Bringing every sailor back The light is gold, the hope is wide Turning back the rising tide We are anchored in the deep Keeping promises we keep [Post-Chorus] Hold steady now Keep the sacred vow Hold steady now [Verse] The iron stairs begin to groan I face the Atlantic all alone My brother’s face is in the spray A thousand miles and years away But I won't let the signal fade This is the bargain that I made I trim the wick and turn the gear To keep the path of safety clear [Chorus] Raise a glass to the steady hand Guiding souls back to the land Through the gale and through the black Bringing every sailor back The light is gold, the hope is wide Turning back the rising tide We are anchored in the deep Keeping promises we keep [Bridge] It’s a quiet kind of pride With the ocean by my side I’m the ghost inside the flame Calling every ship by name Fiddle soaring through the dark Guiding every wooden bark My hands are scarred and old But the light will not turn cold [Solo] [Breakdown] The light cuts through The light stays true The light for you [Chorus] Raise a glass to the steady hand Guiding souls back to the land Through the gale and through the black Bringing every sailor back The light is gold, the hope is wide Turning back the rising tide We are anchored in the deep Keeping promises we keep [Post-Chorus] Hold steady now Keep the sacred vow Hold steady now [Outro]
