Coastal Threads [1]

[Verse 1] Through salt-stained windows, I watch the waves roll in Where grandma's stories echo like the tide Her weathered hands once mended fishing nets Now factories sleep where trawlers used to ride The shoreline's changing, year by year Old places slip away like morning mist [Chorus] These coastal threads are coming loose Time pulls at every stitch we knew The sea keeps taking what we can't hold onto But we're still weaving something new Through northern nights and factory blues [Verse 2] She taught me how to knot the broken strands Said "darling, life's about what you can save" The smokestacks silent, where my father stood Now seabirds nest in what the rust gave Pictures in the pub are turning brown Of faces that this town once knew by heart [Chorus] These coastal threads are coming loose Time pulls at every stitch we knew The sea keeps taking what we can't hold onto But we're still weaving something new Through northern nights and factory blues [Bridge] The old net's hanging in the shed Each knot a story left unsaid Some nights I swear I hear her voice Whisper "nothing's lost that we remember" [Verse 3] New lights are shining where the docks once stood Strange music drifts across the changing shore The children play on different streets now But something in the salt air feels like before We adapt like seabirds in the storm Finding shelter in the things that stay [Chorus] These coastal threads are coming loose Time pulls at every stitch we knew The sea keeps taking what we can't hold onto But we're still weaving something new Through northern nights and factory blues [Outro] Like grandma's nets, we're frayed but holding strong In every thread, a story carries on Through northern lights and factory nights We keep on mending what we can
