[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I'm sailin' aw
ay to a place
I'm afraid of
The dawn isn't
here, the sun
hasn't rose
I'm drinkin' m
y days with th
e coastal long
shoreman
They got money
to make and c
hildren back h
ome
And the last t
hat I heard yo
u were down in
New Orleans
You were worki
n' your days a
t The Print
I drink 'til I
drown and I s
moke 'til I'm
burnin'
Your hands are
all over my s
cent
I worry for yo
u, you worry f
or me
And it's fine
if we know we
won't change
Collect every
dream in these
old empty poc
kets
And hope that
I'll need them
someday
[Chorus]
But the wrecka
ge of you, I n
o longer resid
e in
And the bridge
s have long si
nce been burne
d
The ash of the
home that I s
tarted the fir
e in
It starts to r
eturn to the E
arth
Well, I'm leav
in' this town
and I'm changi
n' my address
I know that yo
u'll come if y
ou want
And it's not H
alloween but t
he ghost you d
ressed up as
Sure knows how
to haunt, yes
, it knows how
to haunt
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm
[Verse 2]
It's an ode to
the hole that
I found mysel
f stuck in
A song for the
grave that I
dug
There's a murd
er of crows in
the lowlight
off Boston
And I see your
face in each
one
Well, I'm losi
n' myself in t
he tiniest obj
ects
I'm seein' my
life on a scre
en
I'm hearin' yo
ur voice in a
strange foreig
n language
If only I lear
ned how to spe
ak
[Chorus]
But the wrecka
ge of you, I n
o longer resid
e in
And the bridge
s have long si
nce been burne
d
And the ash of
the home that
I started the
fire in
It starts to r
eturn to the E
arth
Well, I'm leav
in' this town
and I'm changi
n' my address
I know that yo
u'll come if y
ou want
And it's not H
alloween but t
he ghost you d
ressed up as
Sure knows how
to haunt, yea
h, you know ho
w to haunt
[Outro]
Mmm
