Early riser rakes the embers
To wake the fire that lights December
In the silver morning silence I remember
There's a gentler living that I once knew
Call me up and call me over
To be a tender kind of soldier
And it's all that I can do to be bolder
In my smoldering youth
And I wanna be there
Drifting off, all worries lost to salty air
And I wanna be there
Rolling soft across the water, calm and fair
Call me up and call me over
To offer arms and ears and shoulders
As the days space and late calls draw us closer
I get older like you
Time has tried and called us turn true
Still, I'm more a child when I am with you
We've seen skies of little fires, of gray of clear blue
Oh, the home in me is home in you too
And I wanna be there
Drifting off, all worries lost to salty air
And I wanna be there
Rolling soft across the water, calm and fair
