[Verse]
She walks the shore with ocean spray in her hair
With salt on her lips like a whispered prayer
Each dawn she writes what the waves might keep
Promises carved where the sea runs deep
[Prechorus]
From pen to paper
Hope sailing the swell
A story to drown or a tale to tell
[Chorus]
Her message in a bottle floating away
Love for the man who will brave the bay
Give me your life
And I’ll give you mine
Happiness bottled in ocean’s brine
[Verse 2]
She sings to the gulls
They circle her skies
The sun is her witness
The clouds her spies
The sand takes her footprints
And erases her sin
But still she waits for the tide to bring him
[Chorus]
Her message in a bottle floating away
Love for the man who will brave the bay
Give me your life
And I’ll give you mine
Happiness bottled in ocean’s brine
[Bridge]
What man would barter his breath for a vow
What heart could weather a love like hers now
She casts and she waits
Her soul set to roam
A lighthouse of longing
A heart with no home
Verse 3
Yet still she waits, and dreams of love,
Sailing to her heart, guided from above.
She never gives up, each day comes new hope,
Casting another bottle with the same love note.
Chorus
Her message in a bottle floating away
Love for the man who will brave the bay
Give me your life
And I’ll give you mine
Happiness bottled in ocean’s brine
