Emerald Shore Home

Intro

Oh

Mm mm

Oh oh

Verse 1

Pale moon hanging low

I watch the harbor water ripple slow

Silver trails across the deep

While the sleepy village spirits finally keep

Tall pines begin to lean

Against a sky of faded emerald green

Shadows stretch across the moss

Thinking on the bitter things I come to loss

Pre-Chorus

Mountain peaks are capped in white

Guarding all the secrets of the night

Ancient winds begin to moan

Calling for a wanderer far from home

Chorus

Take me back to the island of stone

Where the wild briers grow on the hill

Every road that I walk is my own

In the valleys where time is standing still

Carry my heart across the rolling tide

Where the giants and the legends used to hide

Back to the island of stone

Let me finally find a way back home

Verse 2

Iron rings on the wall

Wait for boats that never come at all

Ghostly masts and heavy rain

Trying hard to wash away a silent stain

Empty paths and broken shells

Waking to the rhythm of the chapel bells

Clover growing in the cracks

Tracing every memory on these tired tracks

Pre-Chorus

Golden fields of barley sway

Dancing in the ending of the day

Fires burning in the hearth

Calling for a stranger on the path

Chorus

Take me back to the island of stone

Where the wild briers grow on the hill

Every road that I walk is my own

In the valleys where time is standing still

Carry my heart across the rolling tide

Where the giants and the legends used to hide

Back to the island of stone

Let me finally find a way back home

Bridge

Maybe I am chasing shadows

Maybe I am looking for a ghost

But I can hear the fiddles playing

High above the jagged northern coast

Stone and salt and iron

Roots deep in the loam

Leading every lonely sailor

Further from the ocean and the foam

Chorus

Take me back to the island of stone

Where the wild briers grow on the hill

Every road that I walk is my own

In the valleys where time is standing still

Carry my heart across the rolling tide

Where the giants and the legends used to hide

Back to the island of stone

Let me finally find a way back home
