Sunstone (Version 2)

Intro

Grey sky, no sun

Hold it up

Hold it up

Verse 1

Spray on the oar-bench

Frost in the beard

The swell rolls black

Under the keel

No coast behind us

No coast ahead

Fog on the water

No stars overhead

Pre-Chorus

Raise the stone

Turn it slow

Find the light

The clouds won't show

Chorus

Sunstone, sunstone

Lift it to the grey

One spark in the crystal

We hold the bow that way

Sunstone, sunstone

Lift it to the grey

One spark in the crystal

We hold the bow that way

Drop

Sunstone

Sunstone

Hold the bow that way

Verse 2

Ice on the rigging

Rope bites the hand

Night at the gunwale

Whispers, turn to land

We don't

Salt on the lips

No word, just oars

They fall like a heartbeat

Out here, nothing more

Pre-Chorus

Raise the stone

Turn it slow

Find the light

The clouds won't show

Chorus

Sunstone, sunstone

Lift it to the grey

One spark in the crystal

We hold the bow that way

Sunstone, sunstone

Lift it to the grey

One spark in the crystal

We hold the bow that way

Bridge – low and slow

No shore, no fire

No harbour bell

Only the stone

And the cold north swell

Breathe in frost

Breathe out steam

Keep your eyes

On the pale gleam

Final Chorus

Sunstone, sunstone

Lift it to the grey

One spark in the crystal

We hold the bow that way

Sunstone, sunstone

Lift it to the grey

One spark in the crystal

We hold the bow that way

Outro

Grey sky, no sun

Sunstone

Hold it up
