“Saltwater Veins”

Full song lyrics:
(Verse)
G C G D
Out where the sky meets the sea,
Em C D G
That’s where our hearts long to be,
C D Em C
In the rhythm of the waves, we find our peace,
G D Em C
We’ve got saltwater in our veins, it’s our release.

(Chorus)
G C D G
Ooooh, the siren’s call,
Em C D G
Under the moonlight, we give it our all,
C D Em C
With every tide, we rise and fall,
G D Em C
We’ve got saltwater in our veins, that’s all.

(Verse)
G C G D
The ocean’s lullaby, it sings us to sleep,
Em C D G
Under the starry night, secrets we keep,
C D Em C
In the depth of the blue, we feel so small,
G D Em C
We’ve got saltwater in our veins, after all.

(Chorus)
G C D G
Ooooh, the siren’s call,
Em C D G
Under the moonlight, we give it our all,
C D Em C
With every tide, we rise and fall,
G D Em C
We’ve got saltwater in our veins, that’s all.

Fan’s Testimonial:
My name is Dorothy Parker, a lifelong resident of Mystic. Obedient Coast is my absolute favorite band, and not just because they’re local boys. Their music captures the essence of our town, the ocean, and the nostalgia one feels growing up in a place like this. The song “Saltwater Veins” always brings me back to my own childhood memories of the sea. Through their music, I can truly feel the ebb and flow of the tides within me. Their sound is a comforting reminder of home, no matter where I am.
