[Verse 1] I saw your black hull Split through the rain No lantern on deck No name to claim The ocean kept score Down your iron side You moved like a comet Trying to hide [Pre-Chorus] And I waited on the pier With my coat pulled tight You were gone in the waves But I kept that light [Chorus] Black hull, black hull Moving through the dark Black hull, black hull Still leaves its mark Black hull, black hull Pull me back home Black hull, black hull Don’t leave me alone [Verse 2] Old ropes on the posts Salt on my skin The gulls kept circling Where you’d been I traced your last wake With a shaking hand Like I could read the stars And make them stand [Pre-Chorus] Every splash said stay Every breath said run You were made of midnight And I was the sun [Chorus] Black hull, black hull Moving through the dark Black hull, black hull Still leaves its mark Black hull, black hull Pull me back home Black hull, black hull Don’t leave me alone [Bridge] If you turn at dawn Will you know my name? If I call from the shore Will you answer the same? [Final Chorus] Black hull, black hull Moving through the dark Black hull, black hull Still leaves its mark Black hull, black hull Pull me back home Black hull, black hull Don’t leave me alone Black hull, black hull I’m here on the cold Black hull, black hull Don’t let go
