Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She came with salt on her hem
And a blackbird look in her eye
I wore a coat full of buttons
And a ship that could barely rise
She traced a ring in the harbor
Said, "Boy, you know what you lack"
I laughed at the rope in her fingers
Then watched the tide pull back
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Storms have names
And yours is coming fast"
I said, "I don’t scare easy"
She smiled like a blade in glass
[Chorus]
The witch and the marine
Hearts set out to sea
The witch and the marine
We both got pulled beneath
(oh, we both got pulled beneath)
She called the wind by name
I answered to the waves
The witch and the marine
A kiss that never stayed
[Verse 2]
We met by the wet market boards
With crab shells under our shoes
She bought a pear and a candle
Said, "Meet me where the moorings lose"
I brought a compass and courage
And all of my borrowed pride
She brought a jar full of thunder
And moonlight tied inside
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Love can drown
A man who thinks he's steel"
I said, "Then take me slower"
She touched my wrist like a seal
[Chorus]
The witch and the marine
Hearts set out to sea
The witch and the marine
We both got pulled beneath
(oh, we both got pulled beneath)
She called the wind by name
I answered to the waves
The witch and the marine
A kiss that never stayed
[Bridge]
Now the gulls still turn at dawn
Where her shadow used to be
And my boots are full of harbor mud
From the night she set me free
If you see her by the breakwall
Tell her I still keep the ring
And the map she burned in my hands
Still points to everything
[Chorus]
The witch and the marine
Hearts set out to sea
The witch and the marine
We both got pulled beneath
(oh, we both got pulled beneath)
She called the wind by name
I answered to the waves
The witch and the marine
A kiss that never stayed
[Outro]
The witch and the marine
The witch and the marine
(oh, the witch and the marine)

Style
Dark indie-folk ballad with a shuffling 6/8 pulse, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, low toms, and brushed snare; verse stays intimate and sparse, pre-chorus adds bowed bass and a rising harmony, chorus opens with stacked doubles and a lantern-like vocal hook. Transitional ear candy: distant gull cries, a reversed swell into each chorus, and a final stop-time hit before the last line. Mix is wide, moody, and close-mic, with grainy room tone and a salty edge.
