Lyrics
[Chorus] Shining out across the white waves
Waiting alone by the old shore way
Sent my words through the salty air
Letters floating, no reply, no one there
[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, waiting on the tide
Oh, oh, nothing comes inside
[Verse 2] Nighttime covers all the rocky bays
Lantern flickers, still nobody stays
Rain against the glass keeps me counting days
Every message lost or carried far away
[Pre-Chorus] Folded pages stacked high in my drawer
Hope on the breeze but nothing to show for
[Chorus] Shining out across the white waves
Waiting alone by the old shore way
Sent my words through the salty air
Letters floating, no reply, no one there
[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, waiting on the tide
Oh, oh, nothing comes inside
[Bridge] Salt on my fingers, ink gently fades
Each word a wish I still hope won’t erase
Moon pulls the waters, I call out your name
But only the silence ever answers again
[Verse 3] Fog
[Chorus] Shining out across the white waves
Waiting alone by the old shore way
Sent my words through the salty air
Letters floating, no reply, no one there
[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, waiting on the tide
Oh, oh, still nothing inside
[Outro] Wind through the window sings me to sleep
Dreams drift with changing tides, secrets they keep
Still in the lighthouse I’ll watch for your sign
Light spinning round,
[Chorus] Shining out across the white waves
Waiting alone by the old shore way
Sent my words through the salty air
Letters floating, no reply, no one there
[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, waiting on the tide
Oh, oh, still nothing inside
[Outro] Wind through the window sings me to sleep
Dreams drift with changing tides, secrets they keep
Still in the lighthouse I’ll watch for your sign
Light spinning round, holding out for one reply
[Chorus] Shining out across the white waves
Waiting alone by the old shore way
Sent my words through the salty air
Letters floating, no reply, no one there
[Outro] Wind through the window sings me to sleep
Dreams drift with changing tides, secrets they keep
Still in the lighthouse I’ll watch for your sign
Light spinning round, holding out for one reply
