Track Insight / Lyrics
Tubes glow warm beneath the eaves
Morse taps out through cypress knees
Signal rides the humid air
Static writes a prayer there
[Pre-
Shutter clicks on dying light
Bus wheels vanish into night
Film advances frame by frame
Bayou calls each secret name
Bayou static rising high
Porch light cuts the purple sky
Frequency and film align
Dusk transmits a borderline
Bayou static rising high
Coils sing in copper wire
Water mirrors burning fire
Dial spins past the local bands
Reaching out with steady hands
[Pre-
Viewfinder catches mosquito dance
Second chances, second glance
Negative holds what eyes let go
Bayou secrets, soft and slow
Bayou static rising high
Porch light cuts the purple sky
Frequency and film align
Dusk transmits a borderline
Bayou static rising high
Logbook fills with midnight calls
Signal fractures, rises, falls
Antenna sways in Spanish moss
Counting gain and counting loss
Static cracks like camera flash
Two voices in the gathering ash
One transmits, one receives
Neither stays, neither leaves
Static cracks like camera flash
Bayou static rising high
Porch light cuts the purple sky
Frequency and film align
Dusk transmits a borderline
Bayou static rising high
Contact sheet develops slow
Bayou blues and radio glow
Negative strips hang on the line
Signal clear on this frequency
Bayou static rising high
Porch light cuts the purple sky
Frequency and film align
Dusk transmits a borderline
Bayou static rising high
Bayou static rising high
Transmission ends on wooden boards
Static hums toward morning
