Carry Me Home

Verse 1

Midnight ferry on the harbor line

Fog is rolling like a lullaby

I left a letter underneath the seat

For someone I was never gonna meet

Took the long way round the old bazaar

Lanterns swinging like a broken star

Every window held a different moon

I kept walking till the morning came too soon

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know why

I keep chasing northern skies

But the water knows my name tonight

Chorus

Carry me home

On the tide that never turns

Carry me home

Where the salt and honey burn

I've been sailing through the quiet years

Counting every wave that disappears

Carry me home

Verse 2

Found a photograph inside a coat

Yellow edges like a fading note

Someone else had written on the back

A promise that the world would take it back

I kept walking through the paper rain

Tangled in the rhythm of the strain

Every doorway breathed a different song

I hummed along till nothing felt so wrong

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know why

I keep chasing northern skies

But the current knows my name tonight

Chorus

Carry me home

On the tide that never turns

Carry me home

Where the salt and honey burn

I've been sailing through the quiet years

Counting every wave that disappears

Carry me home

Bridge

Maybe the answer's in the way

The seagulls always find the bay

Maybe the question's in my hands

Wide open like the empty lands

Chorus

Carry me home

On the tide that never turns

Carry me home

Where the salt and honey burn

I've been sailing through the quiet years

Counting every wave that disappears

Carry me home

Outro

Salt and honey

Salt and honey

Carry me home

Salt and honey

Carry me home
