Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt crust on the brass gear teeth
Lantern glass wiped clean of breath
Ferry chains lie slack beneath the
Dawn paints white the gray of depth
Time keeps ticking, tide keeps turning
Neither cares for my yearning
Hands move steady, water learning
Clockwork heart and sea returning
Apprentice coat soaked through with spray
Master's voice still in my thumb
Count the strokes of coming day
Wood and iron keep the time
Time keeps ticking, tide keeps turning
Neither cares for my yearning
Hands move steady, water learning
Clockwork heart and sea returning
No passengers, no cargo crates
Just gulls that cry on rusted rail
Ferry master locks the heavy gates
Tide won't wait, it navigates
Time keeps ticking, tide keeps turning
Neither cares for my yearning
Hands move steady, water learning
Clockwork heart and sea returning
Lamp room taught me watch and wait
Beam cuts through the thickest fog
Now I guard this dock's estate
Time and tide, a single cog
Time keeps ticking, tide keeps turning
Neither cares for my yearning
Hands move steady, water learning
Clockwork heart and sea returning
