Let the Water Teach Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The tide left shells along the sand You wrote your name with an open hand I watched the letters lose their shape As morning pulled them back away [Pre-Chorus] I kept your coat beside the door Though you don't live here anymore [Chorus] Ocean, carry what I couldn't say Take this heavy heart beyond the bay If love is something time can move Let the water teach me how to lose you [Verse 2] A blue glass bottle caught the sun Inside, a note from no one I read it twice beneath the pier The only word was still right here [Pre-Chorus] The gulls went quiet overhead Your last goodbye stayed in my head [Chorus] Ocean, carry what I couldn't say Take this heavy heart beyond the bay If love is something time can move Let the water teach me how to lose you [Bridge] When winter folds the harbor gray I may stop searching through the spray But tonight, beneath the moonlit foam Every wave still sounds like home [Final Chorus] Ocean, carry what I couldn't say Take this heavy heart beyond the bay If love is something time can move Let the water teach me how to lose you [Outro] Let the water teach me how to lose you
