Track Insight / Lyrics
Fog drapes the pier in wool and gray
Calico ears twitch at the spray
Tourists gone, the rail empty now
She claims the planks, she claims the prow
Alto voice in my throat recalls
Latin verse in dusty halls
She waits where the bay meets sky
Calico on pier, passing by
No collar, no name, no door
Just salt wind and nothing more
We sing the same waiting song
Where we both know we belong
Tide pulls back, reveals green weed
She pads slow where mussels feed
Telecaster jangles bright and sharp
Matching the rhythm of her heart
Breath held long like communion wine
Half-remembered, half-divine
She waits where the bay meets sky
Calico on pier, passing by
No collar, no name, no door
Just salt wind and nothing more
We sing the same waiting song
Where we both know we belong
Splash cymbal crashes like a wave
She doesn't flinch, doesn't behave
Garage rock drums, three chords fast
Built for moments meant to last
Choir kid knows the final verse
Sing it loud, sing it diverse
She waits where the bay meets sky
Calico on pier, passing by
No collar, no name, no door
Just salt wind and nothing more
We sing the same waiting song
Where we both know we belong
Sun breaks through, burns mist to gold
Her coat catches fire, brave and bold
I pack my guitar, she stays put
Two strays sharing where they're put
Last chorus rises, voices blend
Amen sounds where pier lights end
She waits where the bay meets sky
Calico on pier, passing by
No collar, no name, no door
Just salt wind and nothing more
We sing the same waiting song
Where we both know we belong
Calico on pier, holding on
Calico on pier, holding on
Telecaster fades, she blinks once slow
Amen rings in salt and glow
