Track Insight / Lyrics
Silver lens wakes cold and slow
Calico pads on salted plank
Three coats bleed in misty glow
Pier keeps time with anchor chain
Salt wind combs the matted fur
Shutter waits for light to stir
Calico sentinel, bay don't blink
Calico sentinel, fog won't shrink
Eyes like amber, paws on stone
Guard the water, guard the home
Calico sentinel, stand alone
Shutter clicks a hollow sound
Cat turns ear to ferry horn
Mist erases Oakland town
Purring loud as nets are drawn
Gull cries stitch the gray above
Aperture holds patient love
Salt crust forms on metal skin
Whiskers twitch at jumping fish
Night leans in, the stars burn thin
Calico grants a silent wish
Tide slips out, the pier sighs deep
Negative secrets, ours to keep
Calico sentinel, bay don't blink
Calico sentinel, fog won't shrink
Eyes like amber, paws on stone
Guard the water, guard the home
Calico sentinel, stand alone
Only us, just me and you
Lens and fur in sodium light
Shutter breathes, the aperture
Frames the dark in black and white
Dawn paints gold on Alcatraz
Cat stretches, yawns, then starts to roam
Shutter sleeps, the moment has
Found its negative, found its home
Fog lifts slow from Golden Gate
Calico walks into the weight
Calico sentinel, bay don't blink
Calico sentinel, fog won't shrink
Eyes like amber, paws on stone
Guard the water, guard the home
Calico sentinel, stand alone
Fog swallows the calico
Lens remembers,
