Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain taps hard on splintered boards
Thunder rolls in heavy chords
My lens cuts a golden path
Steady through the storm's cold wrath
I am the steady beam
Holding dark at bay
Wood and nail remember me
Long after dawn turns gray
Steady beam, steady beam
Water drips from gutter's lip
Each drop catches, lets me grip
Porch swing sways on rusted chain
Light paints shadows, breaks the rain
Boots once thumped these planks at night
Now just me and fading light
Paint peels slow in summer's wake
I endure for old time's sake
I am the steady beam
Holding dark at bay
Wood and nail remember me
Long after dawn turns gray
Steady beam, steady beam
Battery fades, but duty calls
Through the hardest summer squalls
Not a sentinel made of stone
Just glass and wire, standing alone
Morning cracks the clouds apart
Dew clings heavy to my heart
Porch knows every scar I've traced
Light returns where shadows placed
I am the steady beam
Holding dark at bay
Wood and nail remember me
Long after dawn turns gray
Steady beam, steady beam
Steady beam, steady beam
Click. The dark stays gone
Steady beam carries on
