Track Insight / Lyrics
Cedar planks hold harbor brine
Ginkgo leaves mark autumn time
Copper nails remember salt
Quercus roots absorb the fault
Barnacles release their grip
Acer seeds in mortar slip
Frost touches rib and gunwale wood
Taxus shadows where it stood
This hull becomes a lantern now
Light spills across the brickwork brow
Boston breathes in copper glow
Cedar lantern, burn slow
Samaras spin on flooded street
Fagus nuts beneath my seat
Storm has passed the pressure drops
Populus drinks what the sky drops
This hull becomes a lantern now
Light spills across the brickwork brow
Boston breathes in copper glow
Cedar lantern, burn slow
Roots fracture mortar, roots find light
Platanus bark peels white on white
The sidewalk drinks what rain provides
My timber drinks the turning tides
Salix weeps on Charles River bank
Betula bark peels pale and blank
My keel rests dry on Beacon Hill
Photosynthesis standing still
Lichen maps the gunwale grain
Pinus resin seals the rain
Every plank a patient cell
Storing light like chlorophyll
This hull becomes a lantern now
Light spills across the brickwork brow
Boston breathes in copper glow
Cedar lantern, burn slow
Cedar lantern, burn slow
Cedar lantern, burn slow
Ginkgo gold on cedar light
Autumn holds the harbor night
