Ebb Tide's Glow

[Verse 1]
The night air heavy, a whisper on the pane,
Of old currents, bringing back the rain.
A memory's shadow, long and lean,
Across the courtyard, where solace had been.

[Chorus]
Oh, the ocean whispers low,
Where the persistent light still glows.
A steady comfort, deep and slow,
Ebb tide's glow, where my spirit knows.

[Verse 2]
The scent of spices, carried on the breeze,
From market stalls, now hushed beneath the trees.
A quiet ache, for what the tempest took,
Written on the water, like an open book.

[Bridge]
Our griot's stories, anchors in the deep,
Through every downpour, promises to keep.
The inherited faith, a verdant, hidden shore,
Whispered by ancestors, asking for no more.

[Outro]
Still glowing, still flowing,
Ebb tide's glow, gently knowing.
