Lantern Lullaby (Refuge Of The Captain)

Описание: [[LYRICS!!]]

Hush now, wave-worn wanderer, lay your head down low,
Salt on your lashes, secrets in your coat.
You stumbled through the midnight, talking to the rain,
A drunken little prayer with a broken sailor’s name.
The sea kept calling “pay your dues,” the storm said “you’re alone,”
Then lanterns kissed the blackened deck—
and you found your way back home.

Pre-Chorus
You expected teeth, you expected chains,
But the Captain only watched you—
quiet as a flame.
And the skeleton crew, they creaked and swayed,
Like old soft drums to rock your shame away.

Chorus
Sleep, sleep, foolish sailor,
Let the tide uncoil your fear.
The Pirate Captain’s shadow
is the safest place you’ll steer.
Hush, hush, heartsick drifter,
let her mercy pull you through—
You came for refuge from the crew…
and you stayed because of her.

Verse 2
Her boots on the deckboards—steady, slow, and kind,
A storm in her spine, but a calm in her eyes.
She didn’t laugh at all your scars, didn’t pry at what you’d done,
Just poured you water, held her ground—
like moonlight holding up the sun.
The crew kept watch with hollow grins, their bones like wind chimes bright,
They didn’t drag you to the deep—
they guarded you through night.

Pre-Chorus
You thought you’d drown in what you’d been,
But she spoke your name like “begin.”
And every rattle of the rigging said,
“You’re safe. You’re safe. You’re safe.”

Chorus
Sleep, sleep, foolish sailor,
Let the tide uncoil your fear.
The Pirate Captain’s shadow
is the safest place you’ll steer.
Hush, hush, heartsick drifter,
let her mercy pull you through—
You came for refuge from the crew…
and you stayed because of her.

Bridge (soft, like a sway)
And maybe love is not a kiss—
maybe love is staying put,
When the bottle’s calling your old songs back,
and you don’t.
Maybe love is her lantern
held up to your shaking hands,
Saying, “Rest. I won’t condemn you.
Just breathe and understand.”
The skeletons hum low, low, low,
A cradle made of sea,
And you finally stop fighting the night—
and let her set you free.

Final Chorus (whisper-to-rise)
Sleep, sleep, gentle sailor,
let the ocean learn your sigh.
The Pirate Captain’s heartbeat
is a lighthouse in the night.
Hush, hush, love-drunk drifter,
you don’t have to run from truth—
You came for refuge from the crew…
and you found a home in her.

Outro (repeated, very soft)
Hush now… lantern glow…
Rest now… let it slow…
Safe with the Captain…
safe with the crew…
Safe where your heart learns
what love can do.
