Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain soaked envelope lies open wide
Ink bleeds slow where teardrops dried
Morning sun cuts through the dust
Paper warps at edges first
Letter falls apart in light
Salt and paper, salt and light
Keeper reads what storm erased
Tide takes ink but leaves the trace
Lighthouse logbook sits nearby
Salt stained pages, weathered sky
He turns the page with calloused thumb
Knows the rhythm, knows the sum
Letter falls apart in light
Salt and paper, salt and light
Keeper reads what storm erased
Tide takes ink but leaves the trace
Window frame holds salty air
Gull cries cut the morning prayer
Letter fragments lift and spin
New story starts where old begins
Letter falls apart in light
Salt and paper, salt and light
Keeper reads what storm erased
Tide takes ink but leaves the trace
Lamp still sweeps though he's retired
Beam cuts fog that won't be fired
Hands that trimmed the wick for years
Now smooth the page through sudden tears
Sun climbs higher, ink gives way
Words dissolve to light of day
But in the grain the message stays
Salt preserves what time erases
Letter falls apart in light
Salt and paper, salt and light
Keeper reads what storm erased
Tide takes ink but leaves the trace
Salt and paper, salt and light
Morning saves what night couldn't write
Salt and paper, morning light
Keeper nods, the day begins
