Mewstone Rising
Verse 1
Just off the coast, in the silver-blue swell,
Lies a rock with a shadow it never quite tells.
Fishermen glance, then they look away,
Say it’s best not to linger or drift that way.
Verse 2
No trees, no trail, just wind in your ear,
And tales of a hermit who vanished from here.
Storms crash loud, then silence returns,
The sea keeps watch while the lighthouse burns.
Chorus
Mewstone rising, no flag, no name,
Stone in the water, outside the game.
Wild and waiting, carved by the tide,
Island of mystery, nowhere to hide.
Verse 3
Some say there’s a cave with a door of light,
Others say nothing but seals in flight.
It’s drawn on the maps but never explained
An edge of the world the sea has claimed.
Chorus
Mewstone rising, no flag, no name,
Stone in the water, outside the game.
Wild and waiting, carved by the tide,
Island of mystery, nowhere to hide.
Bridge
One day I’ll row there, just me and the mist,
Let the salt write a truth the land might have missed.
Final Chorus
Mewstone rising, no flag, no name,
Stone in the water, outside the game.
Storm-beaten silence, watching the shore
The Mewstone waits, and says no more.
