Lyrics
Salt on the breeze and the sky stretched wide
Grey clouds drifting like the turning tide
Footprints fading where the shoreline bends
Like whispered thoughts I couldn't defend
I walked alone where the marsh grass sways
Time stood still in a softer haze
No noise, no rush, just the wind and me
And a quiet kind of clarity
[Pre-Chorus]
And I breathed it in
Like I’d never breathed before
[Chorus]
Oh, the winds of Silloth called my name
Through the silence, through the change
Where the sea meets soul and nothing hurts
And the world feels small, but the heart feels heard
Every wave just pulls me back
To a place I didn’t know I lacked
In the hush of dusk, I finally see
A softer side of me
[Verse 2]
Little streets and the painted doors
Echoes linger in old shop floors
A town so still but alive somehow
More than I ever needed now
The tide rolls in like a lullaby
Underneath that Cumbrian sky
And every worry I used to hold
Felt lighter there… just letting go
[Pre-Chorus]
And I closed my eyes
Let the moment take its course
[Chorus]
Oh, the winds of Silloth called my name
Through the silence, through the change
Where the sea meets soul and nothing hurts
And the world feels small, but the heart feels heard
Every wave just pulls me back
To a place I didn’t know I lacked
In the hush of dusk, I finally see
A softer side of me
[Bridge]
No neon lights, no city sound
Just open sky and sacred ground
Where I found pieces I’d misplaced
In the stillness… I found my space
[Final Chorus]
Oh, the winds of Silloth call my name
Even now, it feels the same
Through the distance, through the years
It still quiets all my fears
Every wave still pulls me back
To the peace I didn’t know I had
In the hush of memory
It lives inside of me
