black sail valley

Verse 1
Down where the lanterns sway in the cold night air
And the tide hums low like a whispered prayer
There’s a valley carved by the wind and the sea
Where the lost come looking for what used to be
Old ropes creak on a ghostly mast
Every shadow holds onto the past
Salt on the wounds and the stories we bury
All drift down to Black Sail Valley
Pre-Chorus
You can run, you can hide
But the waves know your name
Chorus
Oh, Black Sail Valley, calling me home
Where the broken hearts and the wild ones roam
Every scar is a map, every tear a tale
In the dark of Black Sail Valley
Oh, the night sings soft but it never forgives
Takes what you love, leaves you what you live
And I swore I’d leave, but I always fail
In the pull of Black Sail Valley
Verse 2
There’s a girl with fire in her restless eyes
Said she’d leave this place with the morning tide
But the wind turned sharp and the sky went gray
Now her voice is just an echo in the bay
And the bells still ring from a sunken town
Like a warning call you can’t drown out
Every promise here turns cold and frail
When it drifts through Black Sail Valley
Pre-Chorus
You can fight, you can pray
But the storm won’t change
Chorus
Oh, Black Sail Valley, calling me home
Where the broken hearts and the wild ones roam
Every scar is a map, every tear a tale
In the dark of Black Sail Valley
Oh, the night sings soft but it never forgives
Takes what you love, leaves you what you live
And I swore I’d leave, but I always fail
In the pull of Black Sail Valley
Bridge
I hear the ocean whisper, “Stay”
Feel the current drag my soul away
Every road just leads me back again
To the place I’ll never outrun
Breakdown
Black sails rising in the deep
All the secrets that we keep
Drift like ashes, fade like memory
But they never set you free
Final Chorus
Oh, Black Sail Valley, calling me home
Where the lost and the lonely turn to stone
Every scar is a map, every tear a tale
In the dark of Black Sail Valley
Oh, the night sings soft but it never forgives
Takes what you love, leaves you what you live
And I swore I’d leave, but I always fail
In the pull of Black Sail Valley
Outro
So I’ll lay my bones where the wild winds cry
Under shattered stars in a broken sky
No more running from what I can’t outrun
I’m the ghost Black Sail Valley’s become
