Lyrics
The Manresa Castle's in the fog again
A paper lantern wearing thin
Your name, Kenji, is on my tongue
A knot the damp has come undone
November seeps into the wood
Like something misunderstood
[Chorus]
This town is the unravelling kind
It pulls the stitches from your mind
Hush now, love, don't make a sound
The quiet's taking all around
[Verse 2]

It pulls the stitches from your mind
Hush now, love, don't make a sound
The quiet's taking all around
[Bridge]
So if you wake and I'm not here
Just a spool of thread, my dear
[Outro]
The foghorn's calling you to sleep
A promise that it cannot keep
