Lantern over water (wersja 2)

Verse

Neon signs along the coast

Flicker warm against my skin

Every stranger passing noise

Pulls me deeper in

Old family shop down by sea

Still lit up after we're gone

Papers yellow on the counter's knee

Mama's smile is locked in song

I walked this road a thousand times

Watched the current roll it back to shore

But tonight I'm leaving behind

Every thing that made me poor

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the tide begin to turn?

Something living where I used to learn

Let the harbor hold its breath and see

If this small town can set me free

Chorus

I'll leave the lantern burning bright over water

Watch it shine until my shadow's gone

Not one regret, not a single fight

Only light on the horizon now we're wrong

Verse 2

Seagulls ride the wind like I do

Feathers lift off where my feet used to be

City lights in the dark begin to pull me through

A life of noise is calling out to me

I'll carry every lesson learned and worn

Tie them 'round my neck like a beacon on the floor

Mama's hands were made for more than shore

Every dream that left these waves before

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the tide begin to turn?

Something living where I used to learn

Let the harbor hold its breath and see

If this small town can set me free

Chorus

I'll leave the lantern burning bright over water

Watch it shine until my shadow's gone

Not one regret, not a single fight

Only light on the horizon now we're wrong

Bridge

The house is empty, dark and still

Windows open like they heard a bell

Every room remembers what I used to be

But I don't know that me anymore

So let it burn down to the sea

Leave nothing left but this one spark in me

Chorus

I'll leave the lantern burning bright over water

Watch it shine until my shadow's gone

Not one regret, not a single fight

Only light on the horizon now we're wrong
