Lyrics
Intro: Melancholy electric piano and a distant foghorn-like synth pad
Verse 1: Male Vocal, somber and low
The morning fog rolls in, and blankets all the bay
The fishing boats are silent, as they drift and sway
This harbor used to be so full of life and sound
But now it's just an empty space, since you're not around
Chorus: Male Vocal, with a mournful sax melody
In this empty harbor, I wait for your return
A lonely lighthouse keeper, with a lesson left to learn
The ships are all gone, sailing on the tide
Leaving just this empty harbor, and the emptiness inside
Verse 2: Male Vocal, somber and low
I walk along the pier, where we used to say goodbye
And watch the gulls as they circle in the lonely sky
They're calling out your name, or so it seems to me
A haunting, lonely echo, across the silver sea
Chorus: Male Vocal, with a mournful sax melody
In this empty harbor, I wait for your return
A lonely lighthouse keeper, with a lesson left to learn
The ships are all gone, sailing on the tide
Leaving just this empty harbor, and the emptiness inside
Bridge: Male Vocal, slightly more intense
They say that time will heal, and I should sail away too
But every ship I see, just reminds me of you
This port of broken dreams, is the only home I know
I'm anchored to your memory, with nowhere left to go
Chorus: Male Vocal, with a mournful sax melody and harmony
In this empty harbor, I wait for your return
A lonely lighthouse keeper, with a lesson left to learn
The ships are all gone, sailing on the tide
Leaving just this empty harbor, and the emptiness inside
Outro: Electric piano, sax melody, and the sound of water lapping, fade to silence
Empty harbor... empty inside...
End
