Track Insight / Lyrics
Fog rolls thick on Prinsengracht
Headlights cut the dripping draft
Lantern swings on iron beam
Guiding wheels through winter stream
My cab smells of herring brine
Salt crust on the window line
Meter ticks a steady rhyme
Fog eats up the city sign
Bridge lantern glows on Herengracht
Cutting fog with golden craft
Water mirrors, dark and deep
Promises the dawn will keep
Cobblestones drink up the spray
Wipers sigh a tired sway
Passenger pays, the trip is plain
Bridge looms close, a steel domain
Bridge lantern glows on Herengracht
Cutting fog with golden craft
Water mirrors, dark and deep
Promises the dawn will keep
Gulls cry low above the mast
Tide turns slow, holding fast
Headlights catch a fractured glass
Moment gone, but light will last
Bridge lantern glows on Herengracht
Cutting fog with golden craft
Water mirrors, dark and deep
Promises the dawn will keep
Foghorn moans from harbor mouth
Clock strikes three, the city south
No radio, no chatter loud
Just the bridge and foggy shroud
Dawn bleeds pale on gable stone
Meter silent, shift is done
Lantern fades, but not unknown
Keeper's eyes see every one
Bridge lantern glows on Herengracht
Cutting fog with golden craft
Water mirrors, dark and deep
Promises the dawn will keep
Engine cools on Prinsengracht
Bridge lantern holds the morning draft
Taxi rests, the night is past
Light remains, steady, fast
