[Verse 1]
The waves they whisper stories of the past,
Of wooden ships and loves that could not last.
Between the white walls and the darkest sea,
Your shadow is the only ghost I see.
I walk the cobblestones of memory lane,
Where every step echoes a sweet pain.

[Pre-Chorus]
The salt is in the air...
The wind acts like a prayer...
Calling me home.

[Chorus]
Oh, ancient tides that pull you far from me,
Two different shores, but just one memory.
A fado written in the stars above,
A tragedy of distance and of love.
My heart is anchored in the deep blue,
Forever drifting, searching for you.

[Instrumental Duet]
[The "Dialogue" between cultures, Portuguese Guitar plays a high trill melody, Greek Bouzouki answers with fast lower notes, they weave together in complex harmony]

[Verse 2]
The sirens sing a song of letting go,
But holding on is all I really know.
From Lisbon lights to islands in the east,
The longing is a hunger, it’s a beast.

[Chorus]
Oh, ancient tides that pull you far from me,
Two different shores, but just one memory.
A fado written in the stars above,
A tragedy of distance and of love.
(Distance and of love...)

[Bridge]
Wait for the tide...
I'll be your guide...
Across the water...
Across the time...

[Outro]
(Ooh... home...)
