Track Insight / Lyrics
River-worn hands currently idle rest
On a workbench piled with nautical crest
Mementos of voyages past and far
A captain's life now silhouetted by the yard
Undergrowth creeps, around his ritual space
Where tools and memories conspire, ungraspable time
He clings to purpose, lost in the haze
Longing for open waves, the horizon's prime
Oh, he's stuck in fading light tonight
Vessels half-built, his sailor's sight
Yearning for the open blue
Where might his spirit break through?
Faded photographs, his children grow
Remote and distant, the pictures show
Their smiles a bitter twist of time
As he pines for the seas, the winds that align
Undergrowth creeps, around his ritual space
Where tools and memories conspire, ungraspable time
He clings to purpose, lost in the haze
Longing for open waves, the horizon's prime
Oh, he's stuck in fading light tonight
Vessels half-built, his sailor's sight
Yearning for the open blue
Where might his spirit break through?
If only one more voyage could begin
With the lights of home, then out to sea within
He'd chase the fading twilight to the infinite
And find his way back, his peace of mind
Oh, he's stuck in fading light tonight
Vessels half-built, his sailor's sight
Yearning for the open blue
Where might his spirit break through?
But for now, he'll sit among the dust
Watching life unfold outside the rust
The fading light a reminder of the past
A sailor's story, soon to forever last
