Lyric

The cranes are sleeping by the quay

And all the lights are drifting grey

You used to laugh beneath that sign —

“Welcome Home,” now left behind

I traced your name along the steel

The rust and waves too numb to feel

Still I pretend the sky was blue

It’s always been about you

About you, in the storm and the bloom

In this town that forgot how to move

I scream through static and noise

Hoping you’d hear my voice

The ships all left, the nights got long

I found your old forgotten song

It played like wind through shattered panes

Your echo runs in my veins

I walked the rails to feel the past

Your silhouette in broken glass

Still I pretend the rain was blue

It’s always been about you

About you, in the rust and the bloom

In a city that never makes room

I scream through static and noise

Hoping you’d hear my voice

You left your shadow in the tide

It clings to every breath

Even silence sounds like you

About you, in the calm and the gloom

In this harbour that mirrors my gloom

I scream through static and noise

Still chasing the sound of your voice
