Letra da música
[Verse 1]
You left in the orange sun
Suitcase small
Eyes so full of distant waves
I laughed
Said you'd be back by fall
Now the tiles are cold at dawn
Chairs in place
Two cups on the kitchen shelf
One still waits for your embrace
[Chorus]
Come back to Sorrento Bay
Wind keeps calling out your name
Boats still rock where we once played
Only I have stayed the same
Come back to Sorrento Bay
Tide rewrites our yesterday
If you walk that road again
I will meet you in the rain
[Verse 2]
Your old scarf along the door
Salt and dust
Letters that I never sent
Folded tight in silent trust
I still set your plate at night
Just in case
Talk into the quiet air
Hear your ghost in every phrase
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If you've found a softer shore
Warmer hands
A kinder sky
I will bless the path you chose
I will love you till I die
But if ever storms grow wild
And your brave heart turns to stone
There's a light in this small house
There's a place you still call home
[Chorus]
Estilo de música
Slow orchestral ballad, male vocals; rubato piano and soft strings carry the verses, with solo clarinet answering phrases. Chorus swells into full string ensemble and French horn pads, vocal sitting very forward and intimate. Subtle harp gliss and timpani rolls heighten drama; tempo breathes with the singer, big dynamic rise into each chorus then falling back to a fragile hush., sad
