Track Insight / Lyrics
Here in this lonely watchtower
Forgot the world, I'm left to wonder
If out there, someone's missing me
Or if I'm the only one seeing
The fisherman's tales on the faded signs
Gulls wheel overhead, eyes on no prize
This pier stretches out, stretching into night
An endless light Post in an endless fight
Neon puddles sparkle, streets alive with sound
A distant saxophone drifts in - it's a wild town
The night exhales mist, and I step outside
The lights of the city, a distant, distant pride
I'm searching for a light in the dark
A flicker to guide me through this broken park
I'm chasing shadows where love should be
A ghost of comfort in this endless sea
I scan the waterfront, fishing boats ablaze
The sea stretches out, a black, yawning phase
Moon rises high, casts an icy glow
On the tired faces of piers, the rusting row
Seagulls cry, the wind sings a mournful tune
As I stand here watchful, my heart an ache in the gloom
Neon puddles sparkle, streets alive with sound
A distant saxophone drifts in - it's a wild town
The night exhales mist, and I step outside
The lights of the city, a distant, distant pride
I'm searching for a light in the dark
A flicker to guide me through this broken park
I'm chasing shadows where love should be
A ghost of comfort in this endless sea
Through the fog, I spot a figure on the shore
A girl in a coat, standing alone once more
She raises her face, and for a second, our eyes meet
A brief spark, then she's gone, lost to the street
I'm still here, watching, waiting, wanting more
A mystery, a mirage, an emptiness I adore
I'm searching for a light in the dark
A flicker to guide me through this broken park
I'm chasing shadows where love should be
A ghost of comfort in this endless sea
The dawn approaches, the city starts to stir
I pack up my post, my watch, my pain
I walk away from the pier, the sea, the night
Leaving behind the search for that fleeting light.
