Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

[Verse 1]
Bm
Light on the water makes it look easy to be free
Bm
I dream ways back to you and you a way back to me
G Bm
Ah, in the Eastern light, on the open wind
G Bm
Those days come rushing back, like the tide changing
[Chorus]
G D C G
And still my shadow's waiting for you like it always used to
G D C G
Hanging around and looking behind me so that you can find me
G Bm
In the eastern light
[Verse 2]
Bm
How did we lose each other like something at sea
Bm
Was I so hard to love and so love let go of me
G Bm
Out in the eastern light on the open wind
G Bm
Is broken love ever forgiven
[Chorus]
G D C G
And still my shadow waiting for you like it always used to
G D C G
Hanging around looking behind me so that you can find me
G Bm
In the eastern light
[Bridge]
G Bm
Eastern light, fill my eyes so no one knows I'??m crying
G Bm
Eastern light, my love is gone despite all of the trying
G Bm
Eastern light, can you see the way I've come apart
C G Bm
When I think of how we did each others hearts
[Verse 3]
Bm
Light on the water makes it look easy to be free
Bm
I see it on your face and your arm around me
G Bm
out in the Eastern light, I am holding you
G Bm
Because the Eastern light, will you hold me too
[Chorus]
G D C G
And still my shadow waiting for you as it always will do
G D C G
Hanging around looking behind me so that you can find me
G Bm
In the eastern light

Light on the water makes it look easy to be free
