Shanty Songtext
von Luke Ritchie

Storm front coming from the southern coast
Leaves its mark upon the land
Heads on up to meet the eastern shore
She bares her teeth to show her smile
Sudden how it gets so dark in this town
Twenty minutes since the day
Holding out to think of something brighter here
That I can tell your dad back home

Send a prayer to my own, to my hope
Seek her out, keep her safe, in my love
Lord, please, keep her sound now


But I′m restless so I head out for the door
I find I'm drawn towards the church
I start to hear the trees, they′re roaring up ahead
Crowd the light out like a curse
Calling me back to those brave November souls
That I can't defy, I can't forget
Think I′d love you more if you were strong and wrong
Than if you were weak and right

Send a prayer to my own, to my hope
Seek her out, keep her safe, in my love
Lord, please, keep her sound now

Seeples like a longing
Floods everything else from my mind
Hope rolls like a warning
Note in the night, catching my heart
Hope you′re safe
Hope you're sound
Hope you′re safe
Hope you're sound
