Track Insight / Lyrics
Pine scent cuts the salty air
Keeper climbs the spiral stair
Wires hum a steady tune
Light sweeps dark across the dune
He guards the line where pines meet pole
A steady hand, a patient soul
The beam cuts through the midnight fog
No ship will crash on jagged log
Salt crust clings to lantern glass
Years move slow, let moments pass
Telegraph poles stand straight and tall
Silent sentinels for all
He guards the line where pines meet pole
A steady hand, a patient soul
The beam cuts through the midnight fog
No ship will crash on jagged log
My lens catches sweat on brow
He doesn't stop to wonder how
The forest breathes, the current flows
Nobody sees, but nobody knows
He guards the line where pines meet pole
A steady hand, a patient soul
The beam cuts through the midnight fog
No ship will crash on jagged log
Morning paints the needles gold
Stories etched in lines so old
Keeper nods, a quiet grace
He waves as my bus pulls away
Another night, another day
Film roll ends on final frame
Keeper stays, he knows the name
Of every tree and wire song
Where forest meets the coast so long
He guards the line where pines meet pole
A steady hand, a patient soul
The beam cuts through the midnight fog
No ship will crash on jagged log
He guards the line where pines meet pole
A steady hand, a patient soul
Light sweeps on, I ride the road
Pine line drifting in the cold
