Track Insight / Lyrics
Streetlights bleedin' on the bay
Another shift is driftin' away
Coffee's cold, the harbor sighs
Watchin' shadows fill my eyes
Concrete pilin' takes the strain
As the evening washes down like rain
Old man Hemmings, lines so deep
Tells a tale the ocean keeps
Wind is pickin' up a tune
Beneath a bruised and silent moon
Salt spray stings, a welcome bite
Holdin' on through the lonely night
Harbour ghosts are callin' me
A lullaby of the restless sea
Just a flicker, then they're gone
Waitin' for the break of dawn
Rusty chains and broken wood Stories whispered, understood
Fisherman's hands, weathered and worn
Another day, another storm is born
Wind is pickin' up a tune
Beneath a bruised and silent moon
Salt spray stings, a welcome bite
Holdin' on through the lonely night
Harbour ghosts are callin' me
A lullaby of the restless sea
Just a flicker, then they're gone
Waitin' for the break of dawn
Crimson streaks across the glass
Watchin' the freighters slowly pass
Empty nets and faded dreams
Reflected in the harbor's gleams
This old harbor knows my name
Holds my sorrow, shares my pain
Every creak, a whispered plea
A lonely soul, just like me
Harbour ghosts are callin' me
A lullaby of the restless sea
Just a flicker, then they're gone
Waitin' for the break of dawn
Smell of diesel, brine, and tar
Reachin' for a distant star
Sydney sleeps, a city bright
Lost in shadows of the night
Harbour ghosts are callin' me
A lullaby of the restless sea
Just a flicker, then they're gone
Waitin' for the break of dawn
Flicker fades, the light grows dim
Harbour whispers, closin' in
Just the waves and the silent plea
Harbour ghosts keep watchin' me.
