Good Morning, Captain - Slint

«Let me in,» the voice cried softly

From outside the wooden door

Scattered remnants of the ship could be seen in the distance

Blood stained the icy wall of the shore

«I'm the only one left

The storm took them all,»

He managed as he tried to stand

The tears ran down his face

«Please, it’s cold»

When he woke, there was no trace of the ship

Only the dawn was left behind by the storm

He felt the creaking of the stairs beneath him

That rose, from the sea to the door

There was a sound at the window then

The captain started (His breath was still)

Slowly, he turned

From behind the edge of the windowsill

There appeared the delicate hand of a child

His face was flushed and timid

He stared at the captain through frightened eyes

The captain reached for something to hold on to

«Help me,» he whispered, as he rose slowly to his feet

The boy’s face went pale

He recognized the sound

Silently, he pulled down the shade against the shadow

Lost in the doorstep of the empty house

I’m trying to find my way home

And I’m sorry

And I miss you

I miss you

I’ve grown taller now

I want the police to be notified

But I swear, with this song, I’ll make it up to you

I’ll make it up to you

I’ll make it up to you

I miss you

I miss you

Ah, I miss you

I miss you
