Taxi rests on George Street curb
Engine ticks as metal cools
Cyclist watches harbor curve
Night falls fast on water pools
Wind bites hard at Darling Point
Ferry horns cut low and deep
Pedals lock in joint by joint
City promises to keep
Harbor watch at drowning sun
Taxi dreams and cyclist prayers
Harbor watch the day is done
City climbs the harbor stairs
Tide rolls in tide rolls out
Light grows thin shadows shout
Tide rolls in tide rolls out
Dawn breaks loose without a doubt
Harbor watch harbor watch
Beat drops hard light catches
Harbor watch harbor watch
Wheels turn free dawn snatches
Fare box empty on the seat
Next shift waits on George Street
Opera sails fold into night
Stars wake up on Botany height
Harbor watch at drowning sun
Taxi dreams and cyclist prayers
Harbor watch the day is done
City climbs the harbor stairs
Radio plays static noise
Spokes reflect the harbor gleam
Meter silent girls and boys
Harbor swallows every dream
Bridge climb high where gulls cry out
Headlights paint the sandstone gold
Two souls watch without a doubt
Stories that the night has told
Morning ferry cuts the glass
Taxi pulls to Circular Quay
Cyclist lets the moment pass
Another fare to start the day
Harbor watch at drowning sun
Taxi dreams and cyclist prayers
Harbor watch the day is done
City climbs the harbor stairs
Harbor watch the night is gone
Wheels keep turning toward the dawn
Harbor watch harbor watch
Wheels spin free dawn breaks loose
Harbor watch harbor watch
City wakes the night concludes
Engine starts on George Street curb
Cyclist pedals toward the light
