I left my voice in the western wind Somewhere between the stone and the rain The road remembers every step But never tells me where I came I learned to walk without a home To carry silence like a flame The sea still calls me by my name Even when I look away There are places That never let you go You don’t return You just grow around them Where the sea keeps names I still belong In every wave I hear what’s gone No words remain But I’m not alone Where the sea keeps names I am known Your letters sink into the sand Unread, but never lost Time bends softly at the shore Every leaving has a cost I speak in pauses, broken tones Like prayers I never learned The past is not a wound anymore It’s just a light that burns Some truths Are carried by the tide You don’t forgive You learn to stand beside them Where the sea keeps names I still belong In every wave I hear what’s gone No words remain But I’m not alone Where the sea keeps names I am known If I disappear tonight Let the water hold the sound I was here I was real I was never truly lost Final Chorus (plus épuré, presque chuchoté) Where the sea keeps names No need to say I let the dark Remember me Where the sea keeps names I lay it down I stop running I stay
