Chapter five · Lyrics
Northbound. · Track 05
Crossing
A harbor at daybreak, where tide, light and passing lives become part of the same quiet movement.
Every wave keeps carrying a story passing through.
Lyrics
Verse 1
The harbor wakes in whispers As the tide begins to turn Fishing boats are drifting out While lanterns softly burn The gulls have found the morning Before the streets below The sea already knows the things The wind has yet to show
Chorus
Somewhere in the distance Where the sky meets silver blue Every wave keeps carrying A story passing through No one owns the sunrise No one owns the sea Still they leave a little more Than they ever take from me
Verse 2
An old man folds the newspaper Outside the corner store A bell rings from the harbor wall Like a hundred times before Windows catch the daylight One by one they glow The world begins so quietly Most people never know
Bridge
Nothing here is waiting Nothing asks to stay Every tide reminds us Everything finds its way
Final Chorus
Somewhere in the distance Morning meets the shore I leave with quiet answers And I don’t need any more The harbor fades behind me But somehow always stays Like the light that finds the water At the start of every day
