across the sea and home, to you.

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Salt in the breeze and the stars overhead,
I’m riding the waves where the wild waters tread.
The timber is creaking, the rigging is tight,
And I’m chasing your memory through the cool endless night.
The moon is a lantern that lights up the foam,
And every blue current is pulling me home.
​(Chorus)
So I’m dancing along on these tumbling tides,
Where the thunder rolls soft and the ocean winds glide.
With a guitar-string heart and the swell underneath,
I’m braving the storm and the dark coral reef.
Hold on to the light on the far shore for me,
I’m coming back home, darlin’, over the sea.
​(Verse 2)
The southern cross guides me through silver and blue,
And every wave crest brings me closer to you.
Got a country-plucked rhythm in the rise and the fall,
Whispering your name through the tempest’s call.
The sea tries to hold me, to keep me astern,
But there ain’t no horizon that’ll stop my return.
​(Chorus)
So I’m dancing along on these tumbling tides,
Where the thunder rolls soft and the ocean winds glide.
With a guitar-string heart and the swell underneath,
I’m braving the storm and the dark coral reef.
Hold on to the light on the far shore for me,
I’m coming back home, darlin’, over the sea.
​(Bridge)
The water is heavy, the journey is long,
But the trade winds keep singing our favorite song.
Soft steel guitar in the howl of the wind,
Telling me soon I’ll be holdin' you again.
​(Outro)
The coast is in sight as the morning dawns clear,
The ocean fades out and the harbor draws near.
Just a few more sweet swells, then I’m back on the dry,
Underneath our own corner of sky.
Dancing off the ocean...
Right into your arms.
