Twine and Tide

Intro

Hey

Ho

Hey

Chorus

Salt in the red raw wind

Pulling at the hemp and twine

Black hills are fading out behind

Further than the gulls can fly

Further than the gulls can fly

Verse 1

Buckets rattle on the oak

The icy spray is soaking every shirt

Old scars sting

Fingers turn to stone in the gale

Water pours inside the boots

Pre-Chorus

Waiting for a sign

Watching for the light

We sail through the night

Chorus

Salt in the red raw wind

Pulling at the hemp and twine

Black hills are fading out behind

Further than the gulls can fly

Further than the gulls can fly

Verse 2

Swelling tides rise

Green waves crashing over the wood

Ten long days

Looking for the shore of home

Bells ringing through the mist

Pre-Chorus

Waiting for a sign

Watching for the light

We sail through the night

Chorus

Salt in the red raw wind

Pulling at the hemp and twine

Black hills are fading out behind

Further than the gulls can fly

Further than the gulls can fly

Post-Chorus

Further than they fly

Further than they fly

Heave away

Heave away

Bridge

Broken masts and rusted iron

Tangled ropes and heavy iron

Cast out the anchor of iron

Hold fast

Steady now

Chorus

Salt in the red raw wind

Pulling at the hemp and twine

Black hills are fading out behind

Further than the gulls can fly

Further than the gulls can fly
