Sardinia

Verse 1

Wind off the water

Salt on my teeth again

I drove the coast road till the headlights gave in

Grandmother's kitchen

Bread cooling on the sill

A language I lost somewhere over the hills

Pre-Chorus

And the stone towers stand

Like they don't need a man

Like they've waited a thousand years

For me to understand

Chorus

Sardinia

You keep what you take

Sardinia

You bury your dead in the rock

Sardinia

I came here to find what I lost

Sardinia

I found I was lost all along

Verse 2

My father stopped calling

I stopped picking up

Two stubborn men and a silence that stuck

The sheep bells at midnight

The moon on the bay

The wine that he poured and then wouldn't explain

Pre-Chorus

And I stood on the cliff

Felt the whole island shift

Felt the years fall away

Like a shirt I outgrew

Chorus

Sardinia

You keep what you take

Sardinia

You bury your dead in the rock

Sardinia

I came here to find what I lost

Sardinia

I found I was lost all along

Bridge

I don't want to fight

I don't want to flee

I don't want to be right

I just want to be

Here

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Sardinia

You keep what you take

Sardinia

You bury your dead in the rock

Sardinia

I came here to find what I lost

Sardinia

I found I was lost all along
