V5.5

[Intro] No drums tonight. No lantern light. Just one forgotten voice… Drifting through the night. ⸻ [Verse 1] Someone whispered through the spray. Called the name I’d locked away. Same old laugh I used to know. Lost beneath the years ago. Warm as fire. Soft as rain. Every word untied my pain. One more breath… one more shore. Like I’d heard that voice before. ⸻ [Pre-Hook] No footsteps came. No shadow moved. Only one voice… I knew was true. ⸻ [Hook] When the black tide calls… Who calls my name? The voice is theirs… But not the same. It sounds like home. It sounds so true. I know they’re gone… So who are you? ⸻ [Verse 2] It knew the songs they used to sing. Knew the joy that laughter brings. Finished every line I’d start. Like it lived inside my heart. Every answer fit too well. Every silence cast a spell. One more step… it came in view. Then it smiled… Just like you. ⸻ [Verse 3] Moonlight drew me to the foam. Every wave felt just like home. One voice spoke… Spoke to me. One more step… the cold ran deep. Something woke beneath my feet. I should’ve run… I reached instead. Now that voice… Won’t leave my head. ⸻ [Bridge] How does the ocean Learn one voice? How does the darkness Make that choice? If they are gone… Then tell me true… Who’s in the water… Calling through? ⸻ [Final Hook] When the black tide calls… Who calls my name? The voice is theirs… But not the same. It sounds like home. It sounds so true. I know they’re gone… So who are you? ⸻ [Outro] I finally turned… To face the sea. The voice was mine… Calling to me. Somebody smiled… From far below. Then someone whispered… “Don’t let me go.”
