Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fog line on the water
I could not see the boat
But I could hear the engine
Cutting through the white

[Chorus]
Move forward anyway
When the shore disappears
Trust the sound that guides you
Through the fog and years

[Verse 2]
A week of early morning walks
Along the coast path grey
The first song for the album
Written in the fog's delay

[Chorus]
Move forward anyway
When the shore disappears
Trust the sound that guides you
Through the fog and years

[Bridge]
The destination hides
Behind a curtain of mist
But the engine knows the way
And I exist in this

[Chorus]
Move forward anyway
When the shore disappears
Trust the sound that guides you
Through the fog and years

[Outro]
Fog line
On the water
