Late Shift in the Fjord Light (wersja 2)

Verse

Fjord water glowing soft like a flame

Rust and salt scent that I've learned to love

I sweep the dock before the morning comes

Every beam on the ship's already lit up

Haul in the nets like I do every year

Pull the strings tight through the misty air

Bass line humming low underneath my skin

Fjord light turning golden, pulling me back in

The captain's lantern swinging slow over the rail

Water and stone where the world feels whole

And for a moment, I don't think of tomorrow

Just the dark blue and the quiet after

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's the water or maybe it's the sound

But nothing else seems to be pulling me down

Chorus

Late shift in the fjord light

Late shift in the fjord light

Every hook that I pull out of the sea

Is one more minute I stay here with me

Bait on my line and the mist on my skin

This is where I let it all fall in

Verse

Seagulls wheeling low across the current

Salt spray stinging every time I turn

Fish flopping on the deck, the captain's laugh

We're the only two still talking after the staff

He says, 'Marlow, you've been doing this for years

I say, 'Yes, sir', through all my doubts and fears

And he just nods and turns back to the wheel

Like some secrets we don't need to be told

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's the water or maybe it's the sound

But nothing else seems to be pulling me down

Chorus

Late shift in the fjord light

Late shift in the fjord light

Every hook that I pull out of the sea

Is one more minute I stay here with me

Bait on my line and the mist on my skin

This is where I let it all fall in

Bridge

Maybe it's not just about catching fish

Maybe it's about being where I need to be

Every dawn we push back out into the gray

And every night that we come back home

Chorus

Late shift in the fjord light

Late shift in the fjord light

Every hook that I pull out of the sea

Is one more minute I stay here with me

Bait on my line and the mist on my skin

This is where I let it all fall in
