Lyrics

[Intro]
Fog sits on the lip of the world
Salt on my mouth, morning iron-gray
I'm still watching the water

[Verse 1]
Gray horizon, a seam that won’t give
Lantern in the window, still lit
I taste the tide, I count each wave
I breathe your name to the wind, not a grave

[Build]

[Chorus]
I won’t carve dates in stone for a life not ended yet
Till the tide turns back with light, I hold the edge you left
I’m still watching the water
I’m still watching the water
I speak your name to the wind, it brings it back as breath
I’m still watching the water

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Downshore, someone’s radio says storms make widows
At the rail, my knuckles learn the language of the cold
The buoy rings a low, bone note I won’t agree with
The lantern at home eats oil I don’t mind giving

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
If the sea hasn’t taken you, it can’t have me
When the gray unthreads to gold, you’ll break that seam
I’m still watching the water
I’m still watching the water
I won’t burn our map to ash, I won’t bar the eastern breeze
I’m still watching the water
Till your shadow climbs this cliff in the first bite of the breeze
I’m still watching the water

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I keep the lantern lit
I whisper your name to the wind, not goodbye
My mouth tastes like rain
I’m still watching the water

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
The gray line softens; I don’t move
I’m still watching the water
