Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust settles on the barrel steel
Fog eats the Golden Gate's reveal
Twin suns bleed through the sulphur haze
I count the hours, count the days
Mist clings low to Alcatraz
Fog swallows hulls and treasure maps
Twin suns glare on the rusted rail
We wait for dawn, we wait for sail
Shutter snaps the salted air
Film catches light caught in your stare
Bus ticket stub tucked in my boot
West wind cuts the air to mute
You stand like oak, I drift like smoke
Two suns rise on the bay you woke
Holster creaks in morning cold
Story etched in lines, not told
Three ships pass, none drop the hook
I read the tide, I read the book
Pinkerton badge or outlaw name
Out here the fog treats all the same
Mist clings low to Alcatraz
Fog swallows hulls and treasure maps
Twin suns glare on the rusted rail
We wait for dawn, we wait for sail
Camera clicks, hammer cocks back
Time holds its breath on the tidal track
Silver lens meets iron sight
Day breaks hard through the endless night
Negative strips dry on the line
Salt crystals sharp on hemp and twine
You holster deep, the suns climb high
I catch the glare, I catch the sky
Pier holds fast, the water stays
Two suns watch our separate ways
Mist clings low to Alcatraz
Fog swallows hulls and treasure maps
Twin suns glare on the rusted rail
We wait for dawn, we wait for sail
Shutter clicks, hammer rests
Twin suns guard the misty bay
