My Jolly Voidhand Bold | Sorrowful Space Shanty (Lyrics Video)

My Jolly Voidhand Bold is a calm and sorrowful space shanty about a woman waiting beneath the station lights for the Voidhand she loves to return from the endless dark. Inspired by My Jolly Sailor Bold and reimagined for the Driftbound universe, this song carries the feeling of quiet longing, distant engines, glowing beacons, and promises made across the stars. For the lonely watchers at the docks, the lovers left behind, and every soul who has ever looked to the stars and waited. 🎵 Lyrics: One quiet station morning, Beneath the silver glow, I walked the old departure rings Where all the starships go. I heard the dock bells calling, I watched the engines burn, And thought upon my Voidhand, Who swore he would return. My heart sails out among the stars, Beyond the dark and cold, No crown of light, no world of gold Could make my sorrow old. There’s nothing in this endless night My lonely heart can hold, But the hope he’s coming home to me My jolly Voidhand bold. His hair falls wild in starlight, His eyes are blue and kind, He laughs as though the blackest void Was something he left behind. May every beacon guide him, May every engine hold, May fortune walk beside him For my dear Voidhand bold. My heart sails out among the stars, Beyond the dark and cold, No crown of light, no world of gold Could make my sorrow old. There’s nothing in this endless night My lonely heart can hold, But the hope he’s coming home to me My jolly Voidhand bold. From Meridian’s bright lanterns To old Tritons fading flame, I search the boards of docking ships And listen for his name. Each freighter brings me strangers, Each cutter leaves me cold, Still I wait beside the landing lights For my jolly Voidhand bold. My heart sails out among the stars, Beyond the dark and cold, No crown of light, no world of gold Could make my sorrow old. There’s nothing in this endless night My lonely heart can hold, But the hope he’s coming home to me My jolly Voidhand bold. They say the lanes grow darker Past the edge of Widow’s Arc, Where broken stars and silent wrecks Lie sleeping in the dark. But I will not believe them When their fearful tales are told, For no hungry void shall take from me My jolly Voidhand bold. So burn, little beacon, burn for him, Shine through the endless blue, And carry one small promise out I’m still here waiting true. Though years may cross between us, Though I weary, though I grow old, There’ll always be a light for you, My jolly Voidhand bold. My heart sails out among the stars, Beyond the dark and cold, No crown of light, no world of gold Could make my sorrow old. There’s nothing in this endless night My lonely heart can hold, But the hope he’s coming home to me My jolly Voidhand bold. So burn, little beacon, burn for him, However far he’s rolled… And guide him home across the stars My jolly Voidhand bold. -- This is an original AI-assisted space shanty created for the Driftbound universe.
