Silver Line Lyrics

Saw him leaving the harbor heading towards the storm

A wave hit his bow as I flashed my light home

In the green night

I saw his profile

His hair white as a lion

His teen left home one week ago

Out to see the world

The coast lined by pearls

His grandfather

Picked up a tether

Pulled him close and said"I know a better fish to sabor"

You said"In her most dangerous moments

There is a silver line"

When you see her lights

Throw me the buoy rope line"

He's rested in the palm of her swirling hand

Scarcely know another fair-weathered man

Their message from daughter was broken and garbled

Waves each time the sky roared

That's when he remembered his mind flashback

To when the stars flickered

The day his wife passed

She sailed near land but didn't see sand

Crossed a tempest with only one hand

And it took a while

For his anger to bore out pain

But then more understanding was gained
