[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strums, distant wave sound] Salt air tangs the morning breeze Seagulls trace the distant trees [Verse 1 – fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft shaker] I found a shell beneath the pier Held it close to make it clear The tide brings secrets from the deep Whispers I can’t help but keep [Pre-Chorus – subtle bassline, light tambourine] Footprints fade where waves roll in Memories cling like seaweed skin [Chorus – layered vocal harmonies, light drum brush] Oh, the coastal whisper calls my name Guides me through the sun and rain Sandy paths and weathered wood I’ll follow where the tides have stood [Interlude – soft piano arpeggios, distant seagull cries] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – acoustic guitar with added ukulele, soft maraca] Old lighthouse stands against the storm Its beam keeps every sailor warm I sit and watch the moon rise high Paint the waves in silver light [Pre-Chorus – slight build in bass and drums] Stars reflect on water’s face Time slows down in this quiet place [Chorus – fuller instrumentation, harmonies amplified] Oh, the coastal whisper calls my name Guides me through the sun and rain Sandy paths and weathered wood I’ll follow where the tides have stood [Bridge – sparse acoustic guitar, intimate vocal] I don’t need maps or distant roads This shore is where my heart unfolds Every wave a gentle plea Stay a while and rest with me [Final Chorus – full band, soaring harmonies] Oh, the coastal whisper calls my name Guides me through the sun and rain Sandy paths and weathered wood I’ll follow where the tides have stood [Outro – fading acoustic guitar, soft wave sound] Salt air tangs the evening breeze Seagulls trace the distant trees
