Track Insight / Lyrics

You watch the bonfire shrink to grey Salt wind steals the heat away Flicker dies on lantern glass Midnight waits for what will pass [Pre- Smoke writes names on lighthouse tower Ash falls slow through walking hour Bone dust settles on the lens Spirit breath bends time and sense Salt and ash remember you Salt and ash remember true Flames fold down to ember crown Veils lift when the fire goes down Salt and ash remember you You scrape the soot from iron door Hear footsteps on the upstairs floor No living foot makes that sound Keeper's log turns page around [Pre- Smoke writes names on lighthouse tower Ash falls slow through walking hour Bone dust settles on the lens Spirit breath bends time and sense Salt and ash remember you Salt and ash remember true Flames fold down to ember crown Veils lift when the fire goes down Salt and ash remember you You trim the wick with callused thumb Hear ancestors begin to come Not through door or window frame But rising up like smoke and flame Salt and ash remember you Salt and ash remember true Flames fold down to ember crown Veils lift when the fire goes down Salt and ash remember you You pour a dram in chipped tin cup Raise toast to those who won't give up The light sweeps slow across the bay Guiding lost ones on their way Salt and ash remember you Salt and ash remember true Flames fold down to ember crown Veils lift when the fire goes down Salt and ash remember you You watch the last coal breathe and die Dawn paints grey on sea and sky But ash stays warm in palm of hand Salt and fire know the land Salt and ash remember you Salt and ash remember true Flames fold down to ember crown Veils lift when the fire goes down Salt and ash remember you Salt and ash remember you Foot stomp fades on worn planks Banjo hums low tide
