FSOTD: "Harbour Lights" by A Silent Film

I first heard this song on my favorite XM station while driving with a friend one night this past week.

And I think I'm in love.

The lyrics, the music, the feeling, the metaphor, the message.  I love it all.  Seriously.  It's been playing on repeat all day.

The rest of their album (Sand & Snow) is equally amazing.

Listen and love.



You and I know I had to leave
Under harbour lights I could not see
That you were my rock never my stepping stone

I held my tongue, I turned on my heels
I couldn't look back, I want you to know

That you were my rock never my stepping stone

You were never a stepping stone

We both know I cannot come home
The water rose faster than I could run
Oh my load has bruised my grieving bones

Forgive my sins for I haven't found God
And I don't know when I can trust my heart
But you were my rock never my stepping stone

You were never a stepping stone
You were never a stepping stone

She said I'll be your rock when the water comes
Don't waste your life on the stepping stones
You were never a stepping stone
You were never a stepping stone
