Track Insight / Lyrics
In misty dawn I hear the horn
A solitary call from the morning gnome
Guiding me to my wheels and chains
Reins in hand, I ready my domain
Through the bridge where morning light descends
I plow the current, river's sacred friend
From the lake to the sea, I pave the way
As the world awakens, starting another day
Mama's river, moorings strong and true
Depths I know so well, waters always new
Hearts that flow beneath the night
Are just beginning to ignite
Tug of war, tide and towline
Two worlds colliding, cut from the same line
Pulse of progress in steel and steam
Fading out the heartbeat of my humble dream
Through the bridge where morning light descends
I plow the current, river's sacred friend
From the lake to the sea, I pave the way
As the world awakens, starting another day
Mama's river, moorings strong and true
Depths I know so well, waters always new
Hearts that flow beneath the night
Are just beginning to ignite
Aging pier, rusty rail, worn and wide
Ghosts of summers left to slide
Into the depths, a tale untold
Of love and loss, the stories cold
Mama's river, moorings strong and true
Depths I know so well, waters always new
Hearts that flow beneath the night
Are just beginning to ignite
Safely docked by day's first light
As the mist burns off into the night
My work is done, my watch complete
On the river's breast, at its sweet retreat.
