The Weaver's Brass

[Intro]
[Verse]
The mist is deep today
The reeds all bend and sway
I walk the peat bog floor
And find a hidden door
A glint of weathered brass
Beneath the tangled grass
A locket cold and small
That answers to my call
[Pre-Chorus]
The engraving tells a name
A long-forgotten flame
It points toward the shore
Where waves begin to roar
To the chapel on the hill
Where time is standing still
[Chorus]
Oh, carry me home
To the salt and the foam
Where the stone arches rise
Under gray, heavy skies
I hear the ghost’s refrain
Of love and silver rain
A fisherman’s heart
That was torn right apart
[Post-Chorus]
In the glimmering tide
Where the secrets all hide
Weaving the past
Into something to last
[Verse]
The chapel floor is bare
But someone’s standing there
My great-grandmother’s face
In this lonely, holy place
She speaks of forbidden vows
Underneath the willow boughs
He sailed the stormy deep
While she was left to weep
[Pre-Chorus]
Her eyes are clear and bright
In the fading coastal light
She tells of how they met
In a world of heavy debt
With a love they couldn't name
Like a wild and flickering flame
[Chorus]
Oh, carry me home
To the salt and the foam
Where the stone arches rise
Under gray, heavy skies
I hear the ghost’s refrain
Of love and silver rain
A fisherman’s heart
That was torn right apart
[Bridge]
The low whistle sighs
As the tide begins to rise
Glimmering pools of blue
Hold a love that was true
She waited by the gate
To challenge every fate
Two worlds that couldn't blend
Until the bitter end
[Breakdown]
Highland pipes begin to wail
Across the misty, coastal trail
The frame drum beats like a heart
That never wants to be apart
[Chorus]
Oh, carry me home
To the salt and the foam
Where the stone arches rise
Under gray, heavy skies
I hear the ghost’s refrain
Of love and silver rain
A fisherman’s heart
That was torn right apart
[Post-Chorus]
Tender and faint
Like a prayer for a saint
Hope in the dust
And the locket of rust
The story lives on
Long after they’re gone
[Outro]
