Track Insight / Lyrics
Cobbler sits on splintered stool
Buffs the shine by morning rule
Wax rag circles, heel to toe
Light catches where the currents flow
Leather drinks the pale gold light
Ferry waits for no one's flight
Hands move steady, rhythm deep
Promises the dock will keep
Regulars know his quiet trade
Boots brought in by midnight shade
He don't talk much, just works the grain
Salt and time leave distinct stain
Leather drinks the pale gold light
Ferry waits for no one's flight
Hands move steady, rhythm deep
Promises the dock will keep
Gulls scream loud on rusted pier
No tourists yet, the path is clear
Brush sings soft on worn-in hide
Dawn stretches long and satisfied
Leather drinks the pale gold light
Ferry waits for no one's flight
Hands move steady, rhythm deep
Promises the dock will keep
Grill goes cold, the coffee's gone
But his work sings the same old song
Each stroke a stitch in time's slow seam
Feeding slow the water's dream
Ferry horn cuts through the haze
Cobbler packs his worn-out ways
Boots shine bright on wooden plank
Dawn pays off in copper bank
Leather drinks the pale gold light
Ferry waits for no one's flight
Hands move steady, rhythm deep
Promises the dock will keep
Leather drinks the pale gold light
Ferry waits for no one's flight
Hands move steady, rhythm deep
Promises the dock will keep
Brush rests down on metal tray
Another dawn, another day
