[Chorus]
Letter to the boy on the ivory shore
Who seeks a song amid the ocean's roar
I've got some idea what you are in for
You'll hold a candle to a storm
A candle to a storm
[Verse 1]
And there'll be peace and there'll be war
And everyday there'll be a door
And there'll be days so beautiful
You daren't forget, and even then days of regret
[Verse 2]
The stars above will always shine
But you'll learn in time
Not all of life ends in a rhythm
At least not most the time
[Chorus]
Letter to the boy on the ivory shore
Who seeks a song amid the ocean's roar
I've got some idea what you are in for
You'll hold a candle to a storm
A candle to a storm
[Outro]
Well now you know, will you go, will you go, will you go?
Will you go?

This song was one of those that started as a poem, a few things I’d say to the child me, which I condensed into this song. It’s one of two songs that compelled me to go write and record up in the Scottish isles recently.
