"The Salt Air & the Tide"

And the rain falls soft upon the fields
Ere I go outside
And you forgot what isn't real, you breathe the salt air
That comes in with the tide

Will I find her
Beyond the sea
Eastern shores are calling me
Across the ocean
Gray ships will lead me somewhere green

Follow olden roads back home
Follow over hills and under trees and broken stones
Follow olden souls back home
Though I've never been there it's somewhere that I know

And may the wind be always at my back
Ere I find my way
And until we raise the parting glass
We’ll let worries fade away

And I won't rest
Till I stand on giants steps
And watch the wind beget
The sails of passing ships
And fishers nets

Upon the sea
Western shores are calling me
Across the ocean
Gray ships will lead me somewhere green

Follow olden roads back home
Follow over seas and on the breeze of rocky coasts
Follow olden souls back home
Though I've never been there
It’s somewhere that I know

And when my story’s at its end
And I wait to see my friends again
When the salt air and the tide
Bring me to the end of life
I finally lay down and
Stick my sword into the sand
And take her hand

Follow olden roads back home
Follow over hills and under trees and stepping stones
Follow olden souls back home
Though I've never been there it's somewhere that I know
