Grey Shore of Home

[Verse 1] I walk where the white trees bend And hear the far surf call my name A salt wind moves through the leaves Like memory that still remains The road is long, the sky is deep Yet my heart turns, it will not stay For every star above these hills Points me toward the Western Bay [Pre-Chorus] O home beyond the darkened foam O silver shore I cannot hold The gulls know what my сердце seeks They cry it out in bone and gold [Chorus] Take me back to the sea Take me back to the sea My heart was born for that song And it still pulls me on Take me back to the sea Take me back to the sea If I cannot stand on the shore Then let the waves sing me home [Verse 2] I have seen the lantern fields The long white halls, the cedar doors But all their quiet beauty fades When the tide is in my core I dream of spray on stone at dawn Of pearls of light on the deep Of my father's name in the breakers And my mother's hands in sleep [Pre-Chorus] O home beyond the darkened foam O silver shore I cannot hold The gulls know what my heart still seeks They cry it out in bone and gold [Chorus] Take me back to the sea Take me back to the sea My heart was born for that song And it still pulls me on Take me back to the sea Take me back to the sea If I cannot stand on the shore Then let the waves sing me home [Bridge] When the moon lays down its road On the black and breathing blue I will follow where it opens Like a door I once ran through And if the years have made me still I am still made of the tide I was shaped by salt and longing I was born on the farthest side [Final Chorus] Take me back to the sea Take me back to the sea My heart was born for that song And it still pulls me on Take me back to the sea Take me back to the sea If I cannot stand on the shore Then let the waves sing me home [Outro] O home O sea I am yours You are in me
