Track Insight / Lyrics

You pace the deck where gulls cry low Your boots know every rusted seam Rain slicks the steel where neon bleeds The harbor breathes in salt and weed [Pre- The fare box clicks no coins tonight The pier lights blink and fade from sight No fares come walking through the rain Just fog rolling in from off the main Midnight ferry holds the line Guarding shores through rain and time Your lantern cuts the heavy air Where city ends and water starts The captain sleeps below the wheel His charts all marked with fading ink You count the strokes of each slow bell And wonder what the mainland thinks [Pre- The fare box clicks no coins tonight The pier lights blink and fade from sight No fares come walking through the rain Just fog rolling in from off the main Midnight ferry holds the line Guarding shores through rain and time Your lantern cuts the heavy air Where city ends and water starts A drunk stumbles down the gangway planks He drops a coin in a frozen palm You nod and point toward shelter aft Where engine heat keeps off the damp Twenty years you've walked this beat Seen three boats sold for scrap and steel Your knees remember every deck Your hands know how the ropes should feel Midnight ferry holds the line Guarding shores through rain and time Your lantern cuts the heavy air Where city ends and water starts Dawn paints the cranes in rust and gold The harbor wakes to horn and bell You fold your coat and log the watch Another story left to tell Midnight ferry holds the line Guarding shores through rain and time Your lantern cuts the heavy air Where city ends and water starts Midnight ferry holds the line The gulls cry low on morning tide You walk the pier with steady stride
