Tide and Honey

Verse 1

Street light flicker by the sari-sari store

Kuya's radio humming through the open door

I been walking since the moon hit the mango tree

Chasing every little wave that the ocean gives to me

Pre-Chorus

Hold tight to the rhythm of the rain

Let it wash the city out of my brain

Chorus

Isla, isla in my bones

Sing me something sweet in your golden tone

Isla, isla call me home

Sun on the water and I'm never alone

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Never alone

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Call me home

Verse 2

Jeepney rolling slow down the gravel road

Every bump is telling me a story I'm owed

Grandma's voice still ringing in my ears somehow

She said find your peace when the tide comes low

Pre-Chorus

Hold tight to the rhythm of the tide

Let the salt and honey in me hide

Chorus

Isla, isla in my bones

Sing me something sweet in your golden tone

Isla, isla call me home

Sun on the water and I'm never alone

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Never alone

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Call me home

Bridge

Waves keep talking to my dusty heart

Saying rest a while you've been running hard

Every road returns to the shore I know

Where the fireflies and the palm trees glow

Chorus

Isla, isla in my bones

Sing me something sweet in your golden tone

Isla, isla call me home

Sun on the water and I'm never alone
