make 5 minutes song, calm

[Verse 1]
I walk the bay at dawn
Bare feet in the foam
Your name in my sleeve
Like salt I carry home

The gulls cut the sky
One white stitch at a time
And the water holds still
Like it’s listening tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
Slow hands on the shore
The world lets go
I breathe with the tide
And I learn to float

[Chorus]
Sea, sea, carry me
Rock me soft and slow
Sea, sea, carry me
Where the deep winds know

Hold me in your blue
Wash me through and through
Sea, sea, carry me
Back to what is true

[Verse 2]
The nets on the dock
Hang heavy with rain
Old wood, wet rope
And the taste of change

Your little lantern boat
Gone out past the line
I watch the dark water
And trust it with time

[Pre-Chorus]
Slow hands on the shore
The world lets go
I breathe with the tide
And I learn to float

[Chorus]
Sea, sea, carry me
Rock me soft and slow
Sea, sea, carry me
Where the deep winds know

Hold me in your blue
Wash me through and through
Sea, sea, carry me
Back to what is true

[Bridge]
If I lost my way
Take me by the moon
If my heart runs dry
Let it break in you

I am only small
In your endless shine
Still you make a room
Out of all this time

[Instrumental]
[Violin and flute carry the melody, letting the lines widen like incoming tide]

[Verse 3]
Now the morning climbs
Over pilings and sand
I don’t need to own
What I can’t understand

I leave my worry
With the shells in the mud
And the sea takes it easy
Like a mother would

[Pre-Chorus]
Slow hands on the shore
The world lets go
I breathe with the tide
And I learn to float

[Chorus]
Sea, sea, carry me
Rock me soft and slow
Sea, sea, carry me
Where the deep winds know

Hold me in your blue
Wash me through and through
Sea, sea, carry me
Back to what is true

[Outro]
Sea, sea, carry me
Sea, sea, carry me
Hold me in your blue
Sea, sea, carry me
