Track Insight / Lyrics
You knead dough on splintered boards
Fog rolls thick past rusted chords
Flour coats your calloused thumbs
Yeast wakes slow where darkness comes
[Pre-
Oven hums a low hymn
Warming up the pier's dim rim
Night rise, night rise, bay bread breathing
Mist eats crust but you keep kneading
Sourdough tang on copper air
No one sees you standing there
Headlights sweep the bridge above
You measure salt with hands you love
Timer ticks on cracked phone screen
Golden loaves where none have been
[Pre-
Oven hums a low hymn
Warming up the pier's dim rim
Night rise, night rise, bay bread breathing
Mist eats crust but you keep kneading
Sourdough tang on copper air
No one sees you standing there
Customer in raincoat appears
Buys a round, wipes away tears
Crumb trail leads to parking lot
You're the baker, like it or not
Flour fingerprint on lens cap
Focus pulls on steamy map
Shutter speed catches the rise
Truth develops in your eyes
Night rise, night rise, bay bread breathing
Mist eats crust but you keep kneading
Sourdough tang on copper air
No one sees you standing there
Dawn cracks open egg-yolk sky
Last loaf cooling, you and I
Camera hangs at hip bone weight
Morning ferry cuts the strait
Night rise, night rise, bay bread breathing
Mist eats crust but you keep kneading
Sourdough tang on copper air
Everyone knows you're standing there
Flash bulb pops in salt wind
Negative holds the night
