Track Insight / Lyrics

Net hangs dry in shed out back Salt crust stiff on canvas sack Thermos steam rises straight and thin Black coffee burns the tin within Watch the light paint gold on brown Leaves skitter past the iron town Waiting on the Beacon Hill Brick Time moves slow and mortar thick Autumn wind cuts through the wool Fisherman plays the waiting fool Bricks remember every tread Regulars call me Captain Dave Order eggs like waves behave Breaks on bow at four AM Yolk runs yellow, stem to stem Griddle sings a greasy song Keeps the chill from staying long Waiting on the Beacon Hill Brick Time moves slow and mortar thick Autumn wind cuts through the wool Fisherman plays the waiting fool Bricks remember every tread State House dome catches the frost Signals seasons, seasons lost No gulls cry on Charles Street now Just the stomp of boot and plow History baked in clay and sand Holding fast this shifting land Waiting on the Beacon Hill Brick Time moves slow and mortar thick Autumn wind cuts through the wool Fisherman plays the waiting fool Bricks remember every tread Shift ends when the church bell tolls Walk the pier where the trawler rolls Nets go out on turning tide Leave the bricks on the hillside Smell of fryer, salt, and rain Same old loop, same old chain Waiting on the Beacon Hill Brick Time moves slow and mortar thick Autumn wind cuts through the wool Fisherman plays the waiting fool Bricks remember every tread Ghosts of cod rise with the dead Foot stomp fades on herringbone Captain Dave walks home alone
