“Salt in the Wind” is a contemporary coastal ballad about memory, lost time, love and the search for home — using the sea as a metaphor for the way places preserve the people and experiences we leave behind.

Salt in the Wind lyrics

There’s a road that ends where the hedgerows lean,
Down to the place where the tide runs green,
I used to race the gulls at dawn,
Now I blink and all my days are gone.

Oh, the sea keeps calling low,
In a voice I used to know.
There’s a salt in the wind and fire in the sky,
And a home I left but never said goodbye.
Every wave sings soft and true,
Bringing me back, back to you.

Oh, the tide rolls in and the years roll on,
But the place I’m from is never gone,
In every dream I used to know
I wander back to you.

There was a bench by the old pier light,
And the stories in the nets feel old,
But I swear I hear your laughter still,
Riding the breeze from over the hill.
Oh, the sea don’t let things fade,
It remembers every vow we made.
There’s a salt in the wind and fire in the sky,
And a home I left but never said goodbye.
Every wave sings soft and true,
Bringing me back, back to you.

Oh, the tide rolls in and the years roll on,
But the place I’m from is never gone,
In every dream I used to know
I wander back to you.

If I follow that shoreline far enough,
Down to the place where the tide runs green,
Will I find who I used to be,
Waiting there by the endless sea?

Salt in the wind and fire in the sky,
And a home I left but never said goodbye.
Every wave sings soft and true,
Bringing me back, back to you.

Oh, the tide rolls in and the years roll on,
But the place I’m from is never gone,
In every dream I used to know
I wander back to you.
Back to you.
Back to you.
