MARY-ENG-CELTIC-01A The Letter in the Sea Fog

[Intro] the letter in the sea fog never learned to leave it stayed beneath the lantern, breathing with the tide [Verse 1] I wrote your name where the wet stones shine by the harbor wall at the edge of time the gulls flew low and the church bell cried and all my youth went out with the tide [Pre-Chorus] If the far waves carry a voice let it come softly, without a choice [Chorus] I will wait where the grey sea turns silver where the moon lays its hand on the foam if you come as a song in the winter I will know, I will know you are home [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] The kettle sleeps and the fire burns blue there is an empty chair still shaped like you I keep no blame, I keep no claim only a candle that remembers your name [Bridge] Let the wind be slow tonight let the old grief turn to light [Final Chorus] I will wait where the grey sea turns silver where the moon lays its hand on the foam if you come as a song in the winter I will know, I will know you are home [Outro] the letter in the sea fog never learned to leave
