[Intro] [low, distant crew chant] Hoist it up One last toast Name on the tide Ghost on the coast [Verse 1] Salt in my wounds Rum on my breath Ink on the page Bargaining death Your scarf on the mast Still cuts through the rain Red like a warning Wrapped round my shame Cards on the table Gun at my ribs Said I could leave you Spat out that fib You were the harbor I called a cage Now I'm a castaway Talking to waves [Chorus] As I fall into the deep, remember me Carve my name in every beam of this old wrecked fleet Sing my last love song over blackened seas If the tide takes all I am, let it leave that piece As I fall into the deep, remember me Turn my scars into a map of where your heart can be When the storm eats every star you see Hum this last love song and set me free [Verse 2] Lanterns are swinging Like verdicts on rope Crew playing dice With splinters of hope I see your face In the foam on the bow All that I chased Feels hollow somehow I was a raider Of soft-spoken hearts Stole what I wanted Then tore it apart But you were the jewel I never could spend Buried too late On the wrong end [Chorus] As I fall into the deep, remember me Carve my name in every beam of this old wrecked fleet Sing my last love song over blackened seas If the tide takes all I am, let it leave that piece As I fall into the deep, remember me Turn my scars into a map of where your heart can be When the storm eats every star you see Hum this last love song and set me free [Bridge] [drums drop, voices echo] If I had one more tide I’d dock these guns Trade gold for quiet Trade rage for sun But the hull is crying The keel runs red So I stitch this promise Into what I said [Chorus] As I fall into the deep, remember me Carve my name in every beam of this old wrecked fleet Sing my last love song over blackened seas If the tide takes all I am, let it leave that piece As I fall into the deep, remember me Turn my scars into a map of where your heart can be If the ocean keeps my memory Sing this last love song instead of me [Outro] [crew chanting, fading] Hoist it up Let it sink Keep the man Lose the brink One last verse On a drowning breath Our last love song To a laughing death
