[INTRO] (Ocean ambience) (Distant foghorn) (Soft radio static) (Slow synth swell) [VERSE 1] Every evening after sunset Just beyond the fading blue The horizon starts to shimmer And the distant lights come through Not the harbor to the south of me Not the islands that I know Something waiting past the water Somewhere charts refuse to show I have watched it through the seasons Summer storms and winter skies Always there beyond the darkness Like a secret in plain sight [PRE-CHORUS] I've followed every bearing I've sailed every route I know Still the distance never changes Still I never get close [CHORUS] There's another coast beyond the water Another harbor in the dark Close enough to see the lights Too far away to mark There's another coast beyond the horizon Another shoreline in the night Waiting just beyond the world I know Just beyond the light [DROP] Beyond the light Beyond the light [VERSE 2] Some say it's a trick of weather Some say it's the fog and tide Some say all the lonely sailors See reflections in the night Maybe that's the truth they're holding Maybe that's the story told But reflections don't stay constant Year after year they don't grow old Same white lights along the shoreline Same beacon turning slow Same harbor tucked between the headlands Same place nobody can go [PRE-CHORUS] I've traced it on old charts I've searched it from the air Every map insists it's nowhere Yet every night it's there [CHORUS] There's another coast beyond the water Another harbor in the dark Close enough to see the lights Too far away to mark There's another coast beyond the horizon Another shoreline in the night Waiting just beyond the world I know Just beyond the light [DROP] Beyond the light Beyond the light [RADAR SWEEP] [BRIDGE] And sometimes when the sea is calm The distance feels less wide I can almost make out houses I can almost see the tide I can almost hear the harbor bells Carried on the evening breeze Like another life unfolding Somewhere across impossible seas [BUILD] Closer Not closer Nearer Not near Every night The same lights Every night Still here [FINAL CHORUS] There's another coast beyond the water Another harbor in the dark Close enough to see the lights Too far away to mark There's another coast beyond the horizon Another shoreline in the night Waiting just beyond the world I know Just beyond the light There's another coast There's another coast Beyond the light [OUTRO] [Ocean ambience] [Distant harbor bell] [Radio static] A faint shoreline glowing on the horizon...
