Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading gold,
Engine hums, a story told.
Willow bends to whispered plea,
Anchorage waits for you and me.
*Salix alaxensis* knows the breeze,
Carrying scents of spruce and seas.
Pontoon kisses glacial foam,
Flying home, no longer roam.
Midnight vectors, silver thread,
Across the tundra, softly spread.
Sun dips low, a crimson stain,
Lost in the light, again, again.
*Ledum groenlandicum* scents the air,
Whispers secrets, beyond compare.
Wing struts gleam, a fragile grace,
Seeking solace in this place.
Midnight vectors, silver thread,
Across the tundra, softly spread.
Sun dips low, a crimson stain,
Lost in the light, again, again.
Engine throbs, a rhythmic beat,
Against the silence, bittersweet.
Floating forests rush below,
Where the icy rivers flow.
Midnight vectors, silver thread,
Across the tundra, softly spread.
Sun dips low, a crimson stain,
Lost in the light, again, again.
*Empetrum nigrum* carpets ground,
Where shadowed mountains can be found.
Floating onward, ever bright,
Into the long Alaskan night.
Midnight vectors, silver thread,
Across the tundra, softly spread.
Sun dips low, a crimson stain,
Lost in the light, again, again.
Lost in the light, we're home again!
Engine fades, a distant sigh,
Beneath the midnight, endless sky.
Willow sleeps, a peaceful dream,
Floating onward, it would seem.
