Track Insight / Lyrics

Thunder rolls across the dark headland Rain hammers hard on the porch board floor Found a card beneath the splintered rail Salt wind blew it right up to my door Salt and paper, ink runs blue to grey Thunder rolls but words are here to stay Salt and paper, safe beneath the pine Keep your message right here next to mine I wrote this down on a heaving deck Gulls cried loud above the masthead tall Swore the sea would not become my wreck Swore I'd answer when you sound the call Salt and paper, ink runs blue to grey Thunder rolls but words are here to stay Salt and paper, safe beneath the pine Keep your message right here next to mine Lamp oil burns low in the tower glass Forty winters kept the beacon bright Fingers trace the words as storms pass Reading by the flash of lightning light Thunder shakes the window pane tonight Ink holds fast against the driving rain Two old hearts beat in the flash of light Bound together by the salt again Boat is moored at the stone quay wall Boots are heavy on the wooden stair Seen the light through the storm and squall Found you waiting in the keeper's chair Salt and paper, ink runs blue to grey Thunder rolls but words are here to stay Salt and paper, safe beneath the pine Keep your message right here next to mine Dawn breaks pale across the morning bay Postcard rests in the old tin box The storm has blown itself away Listening to the quiet clocks Salt and paper, ink runs blue to grey Thunder rolls but words are here to stay Salt and paper, safe beneath the pine Keep your message right here next to mine Salt and paper, safe and dry Salt and paper, you and I
