Lyrics

Intro

Ehi

Eh-eh-ehi

Verse 1

Old salts singing

Wine jugs tilting on the oak table

Laughter leaps

Spinning till the floorboard trembles under my boots

Pre-Chorus

They are watching from the rafters

They are watching from the stone

They are watching us together

Chorus

Salt and the wind

Ancient blood moves in the circle

Salt and the wind

Daughter of the sun starts to twirl

The ghosts join in

The gods walk in

Post-Chorus

Hey hey hey

Circling

Hey hey hey

Circling

Verse 2

Grandmother wore the same red shawl

Fires lick the sky above the olive grove

Feet find rhythm

Saints in the stained glass nod as we sway

Pre-Chorus

I can feel them in my pulse

I can feel them in the heat

I can feel them right beside me

Chorus

Salt and the wind

Ancient blood moves in the circle

Salt and the wind

Daughter of the sun starts to twirl

The ghosts join in

The gods walk in

Post-Chorus

Hey hey hey

Circling

Hey hey hey

Circling

Bridge

Bread is broken

Pitcher is poured

Night is wide

Breath of the ancestors

Touch of the sky-kings

Hand on the shoulder of the youngest son

Chorus

Salt and the wind

Ancient blood moves in the circle

Salt and the wind

Daughter of the sun starts to twirl

The ghosts join in

The gods walk in

Chorus

Salt and the wind

Ancient blood moves in the circle

Salt and the wind

Daughter of the sun starts to twirl

The ghosts join in

The gods walk in
