[Verse] Moonlight spills on the water’s skin Nets hang heavy with the weight of the wind No silver catch, no flash of light Just the rhythm of the tide, soft and right [Pre-Chorus] But the boat remembers every bend Every star that guided me to the end And the silence hums a lullaby For the dreams I carried in the sky [Chorus] Oh, I come home with empty hands But my heart is full of where I’ve been Every wave a whispered name Every night a kind of flame No fish to weigh, no prize to claim But I still believe in the same [Verse] The dock is quiet, light on stone I hear my mother’s voice, I’m not alone She said, “The sea gives what it can But keeps the rest in the dream’s soft span” [Pre-Chorus] And the wind still speaks in old, familiar tones Whispers of a path I’ve walked on And the sky remembers how it feels To carry someone through the steel [Chorus] Oh, I come home with empty hands But my heart is full of where I’ve been Every wave a whispered name Every night a kind of flame No fish to weigh, no prize to claim But I still believe in the same [Bridge] Maybe the ocean keeps what it can’t save Maybe love is just the weight we brave And hope is not a catch, not a thing to keep Just the quiet in the breath we sweep [Chorus] Oh, I come home with empty hands But my heart is full of where I’ve been Every wave a whispered name Every night a kind of flame No fish to weigh, no prize to claim But I still believe in the same [Outro] Empty nets, but the sky is full Of what I carry, not what I took And the sea, it sings the same old tune— Just a whisper, a warm, soft moon…
