Auroral Coast (versione 2)

Verse 1

I walked the beach in a blue-gray haze

Where the fog rolled in like it owned the place

You stood beside me with your coat pulled high

And I held your hand before we knew to say goodbye

The lighthouse beam cut across your face

Painting shadows on your jacket, tracing every line and space

We talked of nothing while the tide came in

Spinning silver shells around our feet again

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it in the air?

Something's moving slow but everywhere

Is there a light at all or just the dark we chase?

Do you feel it climbing through the space?

Chorus

Hold me close to this auroral coast

Where the sky is painted in colors we can't name and won't lose

Every ray of green that cuts across the gray

Pulls us toward a light we'll never stray

Verse 2

Years have passed since our feet walked bare

And I still hear that quiet tone you used to share

A murmur of where did it go? And is it coming back?

I look out at this same old glass-white rack

The waves are moving slower now, the stars have learned to shine

Your smile still bright in every fading line

We don't need a compass to point us true

Every sunrise brings me back to you

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it in the air?

Something's moving slow but everywhere

Is there a light at all or just the dark we chase?

Do you feel it climbing through the space?

Chorus

Hold me close to this auroral coast

Where the sky is painted in colors we can't name and won't lose

Every ray of green that cuts across the gray

Pulls us toward a light we'll never stray

Bridge

No need for maps or clocks up high

Just follow the hum where our hands touch the open sky

Not yesterday's or tomorrow's shore

But this one moment, forever more

Chorus

Hold me close to this auroral coast

Where the sky is painted in colors we can't name and won't lose

Every ray of green that cuts across the gray

Pulls us toward a light we'll never stray
