Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I found your name in the rain

Cut deep in the gatepost stone

Cold moss under my feet

And the sea in my bones

Your coat was left on the nail

Your cup still warm in the light

I stood with the house all quiet

And the dark took a bite

[Pre-Chorus]

O, the night leaned in

O, the fields went still

I called your name to the lane

But the lane stood ill

[Chorus]

Stone on the shore

I keep your place in my heart

Stone on the shore

You are the ache in the dark

(Stone on the shore)

[Verse 2]

The whistle cried through the fire

Like a child in a dream

The fiddle bowed low and silver

Through the ash and the steam

I tied up the years with twine

I tied them soft to my wrist

But every knot came undone

When I tasted your kiss

[Pre-Chorus]

O, the night leaned in

O, the fields went still

I called your name to the lane

But the lane stood ill

[Chorus]

Stone on the shore

I keep your place in my heart

Stone on the shore

You are the ache in the dark

(Stone on the shore)

[Bridge]

If I walk to the cliff alone

Will the gulls know my prayer

Will the sea give back your shadow

Will I find you there

[Final Chorus]

Stone on the shore

I keep your place in my heart

Stone on the shore

You are the ache in the dark

Stone on the shore

I sing you back through the years

(Stone on the shore)
