Static on the Coast

Lyrics 👇 The signal drops out at the edge of the town Where the cliffs are white and the water is brown I’m looking for a rhythm in the crash of the tide With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide The radio is hissing a ghost of a tune Under the eye of a salt-crusted moon I’m sending a message that nobody hears Into the ocean of all of my years. It’s just static on the coast, white noise in the dark Trying to find a flame from a dying spark I’m a long way from home, a long way from you Lost in a frequency of grey and of blue Can you hear me? The lighthouses blink in a code I can’t read Warning the ships of the things that they need But I’m on the shore with my feet in the sand The loneliest ghost in a maritime land I’ve tuned out the voices, I’ve tuned out the crowd The silence down here is incredibly loud Just the gulls and the wind and the spray on the glass Watching the shadows of the container ships pass. It’s just static on the coast, white noise in the dark Trying to find a flame from a dying spark I’m a long way from home, a long way from you Lost in a frequency of grey and of blue.
