Foam upon the wave

Verse 1

Irish moss pulls at my heels

The salt is thick, the water heals

I left my boots beside the stone

To find a shape that’s all my own

The morning hums an ancient chord

A silver light upon the fjord

Chorus

Oh, catch the wind before it dies

Look at the world through wider eyes

We are the wild, the brief, the brave

We are the foam upon the wave

So let the heavy anchor go

And watch the quiet water flow

Verse 2

There is a ghost inside the room

He wears the coat of winter’s gloom

But I have found a brighter thread

To weave a blanket for my bed

The heather blooms despite the cold

A sudden burst of green and gold

Chorus

Oh, catch the wind before it dies

Look at the world through wider eyes

We are the wild, the brief, the brave

We are the foam upon the wave

So let the heavy anchor go

And watch the quiet water flow

Bridge

It’s a long way down if you choose to fall

But a beautiful view if you stand up tall

The cliffs are sharp, the sky is deep

And some secrets are too grand to keep

Listen close to the breathing sea

It’s calling out to you and me

Chorus

Oh, catch the wind before it dies

Look at the world through wider eyes

We are the wild, the brief, the brave

We are the foam upon the wave

So let the heavy anchor go

And watch the quiet water flow

Outro

Just let it go

The quiet water

The silver chord

The open door
