[Intro: Distant sound of crashing waves, slow, melancholic acoustic guitar picking] [Verse 1: Female Vocal] The wooden planks creak underneath my bare feet Where the edge of the world and the grey ocean meet The fog is rolling in thick from the bay Swallowing the remnants of a beautiful day I’m looking out over the dark, freezing tide Wondering where all of our innocence died [Verse 2: Male Vocal] I stand by the railing, tasting the salt I know that the wreckage was mostly my fault The lighthouse is spinning its beam through the gloom A desperate warning of impending doom The gulls are all crying a terrible song Reminding me exactly where I belong [Pre-Chorus: Both] The water is deep and the water is cold We let go of the only thing we should hold [Chorus: Both] Echoes on the pier, ghosts in the mist I can still feel the last time that we kissed We threw our devotion right into the sea Now the undertow's dragging what's left of me The tide washes in, the tide washes out Erasing our love and leaving the doubt [Instrumental Interlude: Acoustic guitar continues over swelling ambient wave sounds and ethereal humming] [Verse 3: Female Vocal] I drop a white rose down into the foam A funeral wreath for our broken home [Male Vocal] It drifts on the current, out of my sight Disappearing forever into the night [Pre-Chorus: Both] The water is deep and the water is cold We let go of the only thing we should hold [Chorus: Both] Echoes on the pier, ghosts in the mist I can still feel the last time that we kissed We threw our devotion right into the sea Now the undertow's dragging what's left of me The tide washes in, the tide washes out Erasing our love and leaving the doubt [Bridge: Both] [Female Vocal] The foghorn cries. [Male Vocal] The ocean weeps. [Both] This is the secret the coastline keeps. We are the sailors who drowned near the shore. We can't come back to the land anymore. [Outro: Both] Echoes... [Female Vocal]: Washed away. [Male Vocal]: In the grey. [Both]: Sinking down. [Fading Outro: Acoustic guitar slows down, fading completely into the sound of crashing waves] [End]
