My soul is bound to her for eternity
A drifting, cinematic lo-fi soundscape unfolds over looping Bm-G-D-A progressions, led by a hazy Wurlitzer and spacey, fat synth bass. Brushed snares, muted kick, 16th tambourine ground the verses, with washed-out guitar fills and behind-the-beat vocals soaked in tape delay and analog reverb. Sleek frame drums and piano fill out the spectrum. Lush pads, glockenspiel, thick harmonies, and melodic synth chords swell for choruses, delving into cosmic textures. The instrumental break spotlights melodic synth lines atop mellow drums and deep bass, all saturated in compressive, warm cassette textures. The fade-out stacks airy harmonies and swelling pads, ending as the Wurlitzer dissolves into silence.

Lyrics
**(Verse 1)**
I was a man of the waves and the wind's sharp tongue
My heart was twice as wild as when I was young
I loved a lass on the coast with eyes of the deep
A promise I swore from the cliffs I would keep
But the sea she's a jealous and a hungerin' bride
She took me below on a murderin' tide
**(Chorus)**
*So heave and haul, my body's gone!*
*To the crushing dark where the light is done!*
*But my soul can't rest, it can't be free!*
*It's bound to her, for eternity!*
*Heave and haul, through the surge and foam!*
*I'll find my way to her, and her alone!*
**(Verse 2)**
They gave me a sailor's grave 'neath a foreign shore
But I feel the pull of the one I adore
I walk the seabed with bones of white stone
And a heart that still beats for the love I have known
I see her each night in the moon's pallid glow
A siren's call that won't let me go
**(Chorus)**
*So heave and haul, my body's gone!*
*To the crushing dark where the light is done!*
*But my soul can't rest, it can't be free!*
*It's bound to her, for eternity!*
*Heave and haul, through the surge and foam!*
*I'll find my way to her, and her alone!*
**(Bridge)**
The storm is my horse and the current my guide
There's a hole in Death's hull, and I'm crawlin' inside
I'll drag my wrecked form from the water and weed
To answer the want in the love that I need
**(Final Chorus)**
*So heave and haul, my body's gone!*
*To the crushing dark where the light is done!*
*But my soul can't rest, it can't be free!*
*It's bound to her, for eternity!*
*Heave and haul, through the surge and foam!*
*I'm comin' for you, my love, I'm comin' home!*
**(Outro)**
Tell her... I kept my vow.
Tell her... her sailor's home now.
