Track Insight / Lyrics

Hound paws scramble on wet planks Rope snares tight on brindled flank Fog rolls thick off river bends No passenger, no journey ends I hold the line, I hold the weight Morning renders up the bait Meter stopped at quarter past First light paints the river glass Engine coughs but wheels don't turn Lessons learned and bridges burned Tangled hound at ferry dock Caught in chain and morning shock No fare to call, no dispatch voice Just salt and steel and hard choice Dawn at the cleat, dawn at the cleat Tide don't wait for tangled feet His collar brass catches pale gleam Tags clang soft in waking dream Rabbit scent still on his muzzle Lost the chase, caught in the puzzle I've held tankers, held the line Never seen a snare like thine Meter stopped at quarter past First light paints the river glass Engine coughs but wheels don't turn Lessons learned and bridges burned Tangled hound at ferry dock Caught in chain and morning shock No fare to call, no dispatch voice Just salt and steel and hard choice Dawn at the cleat, dawn at the cleat Tide don't wait for tangled feet Deckhand arrives with thermos steam Cuts the line, a practiced seam Hound shakes free, limps to the shore Doesn't look back, doesn't implore I take the strain, I take the rope Another day, another hope Weather comes and weather goes Only iron truly knows Every knot and every strain Every loss and every gain Taxi wisdom, dockside creed Serve the need, then watch it leave Tangled hound at ferry dock Caught in chain and morning shock No fare to call, no dispatch voice Just salt and steel and hard choice Dawn at the cleat, dawn at the cleat Tide don't wait for tangled feet Ferry horn blows low and long Hound's far gone, the scent is strong I grip the mooring, barnacled deep Promises the tide don't keep Meter resets, the shift begins Another day, another win Tangled hound at ferry dock Caught in chain and morning shock No fare to call, no dispatch voice Just salt and steel and hard choice Dawn at the cleat, dawn at the cleat Tide don't wait for tangled feet Dawn at the cleat, dawn at the cleat Tide don't wait for tangled feet Salt rust on my iron teeth Another fare, another beneath
