Track Insight / Lyrics
Morning climbs the attic stair
Dust floats heavy in the air
Barn owl blinks at golden light
Feathers ruffle, wings held tight
Salt crust clings to window glass
Keeper watches, lets it pass
He unwinds where rafters meet
Salt and storm in every beat
Old eyes track the feathered turn
Lessons that the lanterns learn
Morning holds what night discerned
Talons grip the splintered beam
Waking from a hunting dream
Sun cuts sharp through cracked glass pane
Warms the cold he can't explain
Forty winters on the rock
Taught him how to watch the clock
He unwinds where rafters meet
Salt and storm in every beat
Old eyes track the feathered turn
Lessons that the lanterns learn
Morning holds what night discerned
Same patience in the waiting dark
Same steady spark to light the spark
Feathers catch the rising gold
Stories that are never old
Lamp is out but knowledge stays
Guides him through the final days
He unwinds where rafters meet
Salt and storm in every beat
Old eyes track the feathered turn
Lessons that the lanterns learn
Morning holds what night discerned
Wings unfold to catch the breeze
Years dissolve in mornings like these
Keeper nods, the silence breaks
Owl claims all the light it takes
No logbook for this quiet grace
Just the light on feathered face
He unwinds where rafters meet
Salt and storm in every beat
Old eyes track the feathered turn
Lessons that the lanterns learn
Morning holds what night discerned
Attic dawn, the owl returns
Attic dawn, the owl returns
Light keeps burning, slowly turns
