Stone Harbour and Steel Bridge

Liner Notes
Again, Liz has provided winning lyrics. I love the image of the stone harbour and steel bridge that offer strength and refuge in times of trouble and disappointment. (After the song was completed, Liz sent me a picture of the actual place, so the harbour and bridge are more than symbolic.) I also love the human dimension where a person offers solace to another.
Later, when not pressured by time constraints of five songs in nine days, I want to go back and clean up the harmonies in the last two choruses. For now, consider it a placeholder, a proof of concept.
Lyrics
When I am lost, you shine your light When I am scared, you hold me tight You guide me through the darkest nights I always know you’re there
You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You shepherd and protect my soul You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You carry and anchor my heart
When I am down, you raise me up When I am hurt, you give me love You show me how this is enough I always know you’ll care
You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You shepherd and protect my soul You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You carry and anchor my heart
You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You shepherd and protect my soul You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You carry and anchor my heart
You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You shepherd and protect my soul You’re my stone harbour and steel bridge You carry and anchor my heart
