Track Insight / Lyrics
You stretch your spine above the foam
Concrete ribs and painted chrome
My beam finds seams in asphalt skin
Night breathes out and lets you in
Light kisses road where gulls don't fly
Salt meets tar beneath the sky
Each flash a pulse, each sweep a breath
You hold the dark, you hold the depth
Truckers blink at sudden white
Wipers dance through spray and night
Your guardrails catch the fractured gold
Stories told in lines of cold
Light kisses road where gulls don't fly
Salt meets tar beneath the sky
Each flash a pulse, each sweep a breath
You hold the dark, you hold the depth
Fog rolls thick on pilot house
Muffles horn and quiets mouse
But you stay lit, you stay true
Grey Atlantic breaking through
Light kisses road where gulls don't fly
Salt meets tar beneath the sky
Each flash a pulse, each sweep a breath
You hold the dark, you hold the depth
Dawn peels paint on cable stay
Washes silver into gray
My lens rests now, the keep is done
You carry weight of rising sun
Thirty years I trimmed the wick
Counted waves and timed the click
Now you blink where I once stood
Twin towers in the salt and wood
Cars hum hymns on your long back
Headlights trace the same old track
No log to sign, no oil to measure
Just steady glow and salted treasure
Light kisses road where gulls don't fly
Salt meets tar beneath the sky
Each flash a pulse, each sweep a breath
You hold the dark, you hold the depth
Light kisses road where gulls don't fly
Salt meets tar beneath the sky
Beacon rests. The span remains.
Salt and steel in morning veins.
