[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

d
         
And the ash of

            
 the home that

   
 I started the

 fire in
        
It starts to r
