Lyrics

(Ta'rafal’s dinner smelled of fish and citrus steam) (We watched the sun dip low, like a fire falling into a dream) (That boat to São Vicente swaying deep in the indigo) (I didn’t want the night to end, didn’t want to let you go) [Pre-Chorus 2 – urgent, heartfelt] If chance brought us together, then we can find the way If it is meant to be, you'll know where to find me I think, I hope, I pray, I know that you'll be there looking for me So here's where I'll be, waiting for you by the sea [Chorus 2 – warm, determined] I’m keeping the light on, I'm sending out flares The lighthouse and the boat, just searching for the shore I’m keeping the light on, I'm sending out flares It’s a leap of faith, into this ocean, to lead us home [Post-Chorus – earnest, rising] I hope that you'll see this in time, I’m chasing a ghost ‘til our heartbeats rhyme Every step we took that day, every word still re-plays in my mind. [Light Instrumental Break] [Bridge – with Ad-libs - soaring, longing] I’d travel through the clouds, mountains, and seas (Way up... way out...) (Just to feel your hand in mine, just to hear you speak) You’d cross the waves and wind, no matter how far apart (No matter how far...) (Just to meet me there, where the tide meets the stars…) [Pre-Chorus 3 – fragile, hopeful] Ohh... I think, I hope, I pray, I know that you'll be there looking for me So here's where I'll be, waiting for you by the sea [Final Chorus – urgent, tender] I’m keeping the light on, I'm sending out flares The lighthouse and the boat, just searching for the shore I’m keeping the light on, I'm sending out flares It’s a leap of faith, into this ocean, to lead us home [Post-Chorus – earnest, rising] I hope that you'll see this in time, I’m chasing a ghost ‘til our heartbeats rhyme Every step we took that day, every word still re-plays in my mind. Chasing a ghost ‘til our heartbeats rhyme, re-tracing steps back in time, (while) [Outro – anxious, loving, uncertain] Counting stars... or maybe just the breaths between the waves. (I can almost smell it—the po'nch, the salt, the bittersweet of the breeze. ) If you're still standing where the mountain meets the sea. I'm on my way... (and just hope that you’re still looking for me) [The Fade Out – Fading Ad-libs & Earworms - These should overlap and weave into each other as the instruments strip back] I’m keeping the light on, (Keeping the light on...) I'm sending out flares... (I think, I hope, I pray...) (I’m keeping the light on), Searching for the shore... (I can almost smell it…) I think, I hope, I pray…, (Know that I’m on my way) I’m on my way.. [Light Instrumental Close - just a single Violin and the sound of waves FX]
