The Albatross

[instrumental introduce] [Verse 1] As dawn paints whispers on the horizon’s line, An albatross glides, its path a silent sign. It sings to the sea, a ballad soft and grave, A plea for love’s return from the unyielding wave. [Chorus] Soar, albatross, with your secret sorrows sown, Above the deep’s embrace, cold and unknown. Your heartstrings pull the breeze, yet the sea hears not your call, A tale of love cast wide, where silent shadows fall. [Verse 2] From the heights, it watches—the dance of tide and time, Each wingbeat a verse, every glance a rhyme. The sea, ever distant, keeps its mysteries tight, While the albatross shadows the fading light. [Chorus] Soar, albatross, with your secret sorrows sown, Above the deep’s embrace, cold and unknown. Your heartstrings pull the breeze, yet the sea hears not your call, A tale of love cast wide, where silent shadows fall. [Bridge] Might the ocean glance upward, its depths stir with a spark, To see the lone sentinel against the vast, stark? Still, the currents are steadfast, the albatross must glide on, A specter in the wind, till its haunting song is gone. [Chorus] Soar, albatross, with your secret sorrows sown, Above the deep’s embrace, cold and unknown. Your heartstrings pull the breeze, yet the sea hears not your call, A tale of love cast wide, where silent shadows fall. [Outro] Might the ocean glance upward, its depths stir with a spark, To see the lone sentinel against the vast, stark? Still, the currents are steadfast, the albatross must glide on, A specter in the wind, till its haunting song is gone.
