Harbor Fire

[Intro] Salt in the air, a quiet glow Stone heart listening to the undertow [Verse 1] I stand on the edge where the cold winds blow Watching your silhouette fade into the undertow I keep the lantern bright for your weary eyes Counting the miles as the horizon lies [Chorus] Stay, my harbor fire, don’t drift out to night Guide home your whisper, through the sailor’s fright I’ll burn for your return, till the tides grow old Your compass is my beacon, my lighthouse gold [Verse 2] Every vessel that leaves leaves a memory ashore Painted in salt and slate, I’m listening for your roar If the gusts howl stories of storms we’ve known I’ll hush the sea's chorus till you’re back home [Chorus] Stay, my harbor fire, don’t drift out to night Guide home your whisper, through the sailor’s fright I’ll burn for your return, till the tides grow old Your compass is my beacon, my lighthouse gold [Bridge] When night folds into silence, I miss your step on the pier The lamp in my stairwell glimmers like a prayer you might hear [Chorus] Stay, my harbor fire, don’t drift out to night Guide home your whisper, through the sailor’s fright I’ll burn for your return, till the tides grow old Your compass is my beacon, my lighthouse gold [Outro] Until you anchor here again, I’ll keep the flame bright for you Until you return, my sea-bright truth, forever true
