Luke Ritchie - Shanty lyrics

Storm-front coming from the southern coast Leaves its mark upon the land Heads on up towards the eastern shore She bares her teeth to show a 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 Sea pulls like a longing Floods everything else from my mind Home calls like a warning – a note in the night – Catch in my heart Hope you're safe Hope you're sound Hope you're safe Hope you're sound
