Track Insight / Lyrics
Trails of sailboats mirror-still on the water's edge
Lonely lighthouse beacon, distant, hesitant ledge
I stalk shoplamps casting shadows, empty
Sydney streets
Night's chill in my bones, afternoons cheap thrills and treats
Ghosts of nine-to-fivers, hurrying home to rest
While I linger, lost, my camera's my quest
But light won't quit on me, no, it never will
In flashbulb's silver dance, I build my skill
Nightstick's harsh glare, I plot my next move
In Sydney's hush, with secrets, I improve
Harbor dusk, neon night, my playground's alive
Alone, I roam, the city's my ride
I chase the fading glow, the last rays of day
In shadows, in silence, it leads me astray
Pier-side promenaders, arm in arm they sway
Couples in love, leaving me cold as stone
Their world and mine diverge, in separate play
I zoom in on the cracks, the spaces they've erased
In winding alleys, I spy obscure signs
Of lives lived in the night, in Sydney's crime
But light won't quit on me, no, it never will
In flashbulb's silver dance, I build my skill
Nightstick's harsh glare, I plot my next move
In Sydney's hush, with secrets, I improve
Harbor dusk, neon night, my playground's alive
Alone, I roam, the city's my ride
I chase the fading glow, the last rays of day
In shadows, in silence, it leads me astray
In red-light alleys, stories paint the walls
Of
Schema bars and seedy halls
Where smugglers and pimps, vice lords tussle and vie
But to me, their drama's just backdrop for my excursion tonight
I sidestep danger, under neon signs I scurry
Hunting frames, where shadows dance and poetry stirs
Harbor dusk, neon night, my playground's alive
Alone, I roam, the city's my ride
I chase the fading glow, the last rays of day
In shadows, in silence, it leads me astray
I'll blend with the night and the harbor's mist
My restless quest, until the first light's kiss
I'll capture the city's heart, its song and its sighs
In my lens, Sydney's secrets, under the neon skies
