A cryptic song about hull in East Yorkshire
alternative rock, experimental rock
00:00 / 00:00
Lyrics
[Intro – soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, distant seagull cry]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 1 – gentle guitar strum, faint harbor bell hum]
Fog clings tight to the dockyard wall
Salt crusted letters scrawled on stone
A lost key turns in a rusted lock
Where the old trawler bones have grown
[Verse 2 – harmonica wail, soft wave lap]
The fish market ghost hums a sea shanty tune
Empty crates rock beneath the moon
A cracked teacup sits on a warehouse sill
Waiting for a hand that never will
[Pre-Chorus – building guitar tension, wind whistle]
Every alley hides a half-told tale
Every tide washes a secret pale
The cobblestones know what the fog won't say
Hull keeps its truths in the gray
[Chorus – layered harmonies, steady drum beat]
Hull's hush, a song the sea won't sing
Whispers caught in the fishing net's string
Windows blind to the hidden things
Hull's hush, where the lost memories cling
[Interlude – harmonica solo, distant ship horn]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Verse 3 – muted guitar, rain patter]
The old lighthouse blinks a broken code
A child's doll floats where the pier once stood
A sailor's coat hangs on a rotting post
Stitched with names the waves have took
[Pre-Chorus – rising vocal intensity, gusting wind]
Every alley hides a half-told tale
Every tide washes a secret pale
The cobblestones know what the fog won't say
Hull keeps its truths in the gray
[Chorus – full band, soaring harmonies]
Hull's hush, a song the sea won't sing
Whispers caught in the fishing net's string
Windows blind to the hidden things
Hull's hush, where the lost memories cling
[Bridge – sparse guitar, quiet vocal]
I traced the carvings on the dockside wall
Heard the tide call a forgotten name
Hull doesn't give up her ghosts at all
She keeps them close, keeps them tame
[Final Chorus – fading harmonies, soft guitar]
Hull's hush, a song the sea won't sing
Whispers caught in the fishing net's string
Windows blind to the hidden things
Hull's hush, where the lost memories cling
[Outro – fading guitar, distant seagull cry]
Fog rolls back to the bay
Hull's hush stays to the day
