Track Insight / Lyrics
The wind is howling like a beast, frantic, wild, untamed
Scratching steel and groaning stones but
my tug keeps pace the same
Tugger's pride, my steady hand, defying the tempest's roar
Through the driving rain and dark, I push onward, evermore
Midnight's landscape, astral blue, neon dreams made real
Sirens' lonely, mournful moan, their plaintive, melancholy zeal
Each flicker on the pier's edge, a beacon in the gloom
A promise there's more to life, and I keep on breaking through
I'm the nightcap on this harbor's rim, the last to rest
Watching the city's lights go low, as I pace the restless nest
In every twist and every turn, the tugboat's song is mine
I've got the harbor in my blood, it's my midnight shrine
Fog creeps in on silent feet, shrouding the stern
Mystery is the shroud of night, but I remain unworn
Coffee's stains on my worn jeans, my captain's worn-out stare
But in the shadows, I am free, and I'll steer my course with care
Midnight's landscape, astral blue, neon dreams made real
Sirens' lonely, mournful moan, their plaintive, melancholy zeal
Each flicker on the pier's edge, a beacon in the gloom
A promise there's more to life, and I keep on breaking through
I'm the nightcap on this harbor's rim, the last to rest
Watching the city's lights go low
as I pace the restless nest
In every twist and every turn, the tugboat's song is mine
I've got the harbor in my blood, it's my midnight shrine
A lone seagull crying out, its call an evensong
A melancholy, mournful hoot, the harbor's lullaby all night long
As I round the darkest bend, the lights of shore appear
A promise of a brighter dawn, and I've heard it clear
I'm the nightcap on this harbor's rim, the last to rest
Watching the city's lights go low
as I pace the restless nest
In every twist and every turn, the tugboat's song is mine
I've got the harbor in my blood, it's my midnight shrine
Glowing buoys pierce the night, I'm alone out here
Shivering salt in my bones, but it's a cozy fear
Coffee's bitter in my cup, as the first light creeps on shore
And I am the harbor's guardian, ever vigilant, forever more.
