Track Insight / Lyrics
I climbed the fence at half past five
The salt air makes me feel alive
My lens is clean, the focus tight
I'm chasing down the dying light
And there it goes, the golden beam
Cutting through a velvet dream
Slicing through the harbor haze
Setting all the docks ablaze
The watchman swings his heavy glare
A sudden spark in midnight air
He scans the pier, he scans the foam
While I am far away from home
I snap the frame, I hold my breath
The city looks like sudden death
But here the wind is cold and blue
And everything feels sharp and new
And there it goes, the golden beam
Cutting through a velvet dream
Slicing through the harbor haze
Setting all the docks ablaze
The bus ride took me ten long hours
Past concrete walls and plastic flowers
Now the tide is pulling deep
While the sleepy harbor sleeps
He catches me beside the rail
A tiny ghost, a paper sail
He doesn't shout, he doesn't stare
He just leaves the light right there
And there it goes, the golden beam
Cutting through a velvet dream
Slicing through the harbor haze
Setting all the docks ablaze
Just one more shot The golden beam Hold the light
Hold the light
