I woke where the paper boats wait
On the edge of the dark blue bay
Your name in the salt on my skin
Like a vow that I let in
Lanterns swaying over the pier
Old songs I still keep near
Every step turns gold then gray
But I walk it anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the bell in the mist
Pull me back, pull me in
If the night wants my heart
I’ll still sing through it
[Chorus]
Hold me like the tide
Hold me through the night
Lantern moon, guide me home
Lantern moon, guide me home
Hold me like the tide
I’m still reaching high
Lantern moon, guide me home
Lantern moon, guide me home
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen the rain on temple stone
Felt the wind when I was alone
Still I bloom in the coldest air
Still I leave a little hope there
Your shadow moves in my frame
Soft as a vow, sharp as a flame
Even when the road goes blind
I keep your light inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the bell in the mist
Pull me back, pull me in
If the night wants my heart
I’ll still sing through it
[Chorus]
Hold me like the tide
Hold me through the night
Lantern moon, guide me home
Lantern moon, guide me home
Hold me like the tide
I’m still reaching high
Lantern moon, guide me home
Lantern moon, guide me home
[Bridge]
When the sky breaks open wide
And the old doubts start to rise
I will dance in the rain
I will not call it pain
[Final Chorus]
Hold me like the tide
Hold me through the night
Lantern moon, guide me home
Lantern moon, guide me home
Hold me like the tide
I’m still reaching high
Lantern moon, guide me home
Lantern moon, guide me home
