Track Insight / Lyrics

You stand where iron arches groan Count boots that kiss the frozen stone Each step a coin in copper palm Winter writes its quiet psalm Cobblestone toll you keep alone Lantern swings where gulls have flown Footsteps fall and footsteps fade Debt of night by moonlight paid Salt wind bites your wool-wrapped hands Ledger lined with graphite strands Three pence for the baker's boy Six for sailors home from Troy Cobblestone toll you keep alone Lantern swings where gulls have flown Footsteps fall and footsteps fade Debt of night by moonlight paid Fog rolls thick as sailcloth wet Wraps the arch in silver debt You know each gait by sound and weight Lovers' rush and widows' wait Dawn will find the ledger straight Cobblestone toll you keep alone Lantern swings where gulls have flown Footsteps fall and footsteps fade Debt of night by moonlight paid No ship's log marks this harbor trade Just frost on rail and coins you've made The light you tended twenty years Now counts the steps that disappear Dawn bleeds pale through bridge-hung mist Final tally in your fist Last footfall echoes slow and deep You lock the gate and watch it sleep Cobblestone toll you keep alone Lantern swings where gulls have flown Footsteps fall and footsteps fade Debt of night by moonlight paid Last coin drops in frozen tin Morning breaks the counting din Lamp wick trimmed for one more night Harbor silence, harbor light
