The Gifthorse Lyrics

[Intro: Ahren Stringer]
Stuck on the dark side of the moon
Stuck on the dark side, dark side

[Verse 1: Ahren Stringer]
Our sadness was
Like two ships in the night, ships in the night passing
Both needing a lighthouse
We were yearning for light, yearning for light
Fill the ocean with tears; only I came aground
And if I close my eyes now
I can still hear the sound, I can still hear the sound

[Chorus: Joel Birch]
There's a message at the bottom of this bottle
And it's calling out to me
There's a message at the bottom of this bottle
Singing I can set you free

[Verse 2: Ahren Stringer]
My friend, I'll forever have you on repeat
Stuck on the dark side of the moon
Your sadness, I hear echoing in the ether
You were the light in every room
If I close my eyes, I can hear you
Like you're singing next to me, you're next to me
Oh, brother, I hear you, I still hear you calling
"I have finally found some peace"

[Bridge: Ahren Stringer]
Brother, I still hear you calling
Never been so aware that I'm falling
Brother, I still hear you calling
Never been so aware that I'm falling
Stuck here, I'm forever mourning on the dark side of the moon

[Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
There's a message at the bottom of this bottle
And it's calling out to me
There's a message at the bottom of this bottle
Singing I can set you free
There's a message at the bottom of this bottle
Stuck on the dark side of the moon
There's a message at the bottom of this bottle
Stuck on the dark side of the moon

[Outro: Ahren Stringer]
Stuck on the dark side of the moon
Stuck on the dark side, dark side
