Track Insight / Lyrics
Worn leather gloves, a familiar friend
Echoes of hands once grasping in warmth's end
Garlic peels, coffee grounds, memories fade
Summer's warmth yields to Sydney's shade
A midwinter evening at the spits of the sea
Beneath the weights of eucalyptus, birch and oak
The harbour's empty, save for a lone sail
A monochrome canvas on sapphire's pale
The city's heartbeat thrums like subsonic bass
As I stand here, mesmerised by primordial grace
Hush of the harbour, a midnight serenade
Incandescent lights, a shimmering facade
Leaving me lost in your ethereal shade
A solitary vigil on the windswept promenade
Seagulls cry out their melancholy song
As I wander, these gloves guiding me along
Through puddles rippling with rain's recent kiss
Leaving footprints shallow as forgotten bliss
Perfumed with salt, the air is crisp and clean
Reminding me here, in this moment, life is serene
Hush of the harbour, a midnight serenade
Incandescent lights, a shimmering facade
Leaving me lost in your ethereal shade
A solitary vigil on the windswept promenade
I close my eyes and breathe in the vastness
Feel the ocean's cooling breath upon my skin
In tune with the rhythms of the tides' gentle dance
I surrender to the peace and quiet of this place
Hush of the harbour, a midnight serenade
Incandescent lights, a shimmering facade
Leaving me lost in your ethereal shade
A solitary vigil on the windswept promenade
As dawn approaches, I reluctantly pull back
Into the city's roar, the harbour's hush to lack
Yet memories of this night remain, hauntingly bright
A bittersweet reminder of life's fleeting light.
