Track Insight / Lyrics
Salix bends where gunwales meet
Iron nails hold fast and sweet
Porcelain waits on butcher block
Water boils without a clock
Root and rivet, stem and steel
Silence folds around the keel
Vapor climbs the tiled wall
Dormancy breaks the winter's thrall
Oar and steam in morning light
Wood and water, grain and white
Quercus rests on lino floor
Steam rises from the copper core
Cambium records each season's strain
Oak remembers wind and rain
Teapot whistles, copper throat
Scale falls off the boiling note
Xylem moves in silent tide
Boat holds water deep inside
Steam condenses on the glass
Seasons turn and seasons pass
Oar and steam in morning light
Wood and water, grain and white
Quercus rests on lino floor
Steam rises from the copper core
Phloem carries sugar down
Keel reflects the morning crown
Porcelain rim meets calloused hand
Grain and glaze across the land
Oar and steam in morning light
Wood and water, grain and white
Quercus rests on lino floor
Steam rises from the copper core
Lichen spots the thwart and seat
Moss accepts the damp and heat
Kettle sighs, pressure released
Timber drinks the vapor feast
Oar and steam in morning light
Wood and water, grain and white
Quercus rests on lino floor
Steam rises from the copper core
Taxus bows in lamination
Epoxy seals the integration
Ceramic holds the leaf's infusion
Wood absorbs the steam's diffusion
Oar and steam in morning light
Wood and water, grain and white
Quercus rests on lino floor
Steam rises from the copper core
Oar leans quiet, steam subsides
Roots and rivets, tied by tides
