歌词
[Intro] [Verse] Polishing the copper one last time Counting every penny, every dime Packing up the crates beside the door Sleeping on this floor no more The Fresnel lens is staring like an eye Watching as the summer starts to die [Pre-Chorus] Tide is pulling at the sand Steady heart and steady hand Gears are clicking in the hall Waiting for the final call [Chorus] Let the salt spray wash me clean Leave the light to the machine I’ve kept the watch for forty years Through the laughter and the tears Turn the key and walk away From the amber and the grey [Verse] I see my father in the lantern glow Teaching me the things I had to know He said the sea is hungry for the weak Never let the wick get dry and bleak I saved a boy back in the storm of ‘eight Pulled him from the crushing hand of fate [Pre-Chorus] Tide is pulling at the sand Steady heart and steady hand Gears are clicking in the hall Waiting for the final call [Chorus] Let the salt spray wash me clean Leave the light to the machine I’ve kept the watch for forty years Through the laughter and the tears Turn the key and walk away From the amber and the grey [Bridge] Circuit boards don’t feel the winter gale They don’t know how to hoist a frozen sail They’ll never hear the lonely harbor gull Or feel the rhythm of a wooden hull It’s efficient, it is cold and bold But it hasn’t got a soul to hold [Verse] Boxes line the narrow spiral path Fleeing from the winter’s coming wrath My coat is heavy with the scent of brine This little kingdom isn't mine I’ll find a place where garden roses grow Far away from where the breakers blow [Chorus] Let the salt spray wash me clean Leave the light to the machine I’ve kept the watch for forty years Through the laughter and the tears Turn the key and walk away From the amber and the grey [Hook] Walking away, walking away Leaving the amber and the grey Walking away, walking away I'm leaving it all today [Outro]
