Farewell By The Starport Lights | Longing Space Shanty (Lyrics Video)

Farewell By The Starport - Driftbound They say every starport has a lantern that burns for someone lost beyond the shipping lanes. For this voidhand, that light belongs to someone waiting by the bay while the freighter groans, the engines wake, and the black road calls once more. A longing space shanty inspired by old farewell songs, Irish pub ballads, and the timeless ache of leaving someone behind. 🎵 Lyrics: Farewell to you, my own true love I’m bound for the stars once more The captain calls, the engines wake And we’re leaving the old shore But do not weep when the sirens cry Nor curse the ship and you´ll see For when this bitter run is done I will come back to thee So fare thee well, I must be bound away The void is wide, But I’ll return to you someday We’re hauling ore from Ceras Gate Through storm and frozen rain Past broken moons and beacon fires Then homeward back again The pay is poor, the nights are cold The work would break most men But I would cross ten thousand stars To see your face again So fare thee well, I must be bound away The void is wide, But I’ll return to you someday The ship she groans, the old hull shakes The red lights flash and fade The young lads laugh to hide their fear The old hands drink and pray But in my coat beside my heart Your silver ribbon lies And I can see your lantern burn Though stars are in my eyes So fare thee well, I must be bound away The void is wide, But I’ll return to you someday Oh darling, when the winter comes And frost is on the pane Do not believe the dockside tongues That say I died in vain For ships may fail and charts may lie And men may lose their way But love will steer a voidhand home At breaking of the day So fare thee well, I must be bound away The void is wide, But I’ll return to you someday [Finale Chorus] So fare thee well, I must be bound away The void is wide, But I’ll return to you someday --- This is an original AI-assisted space shanty created for the Driftbound universe.
