Track Insight / Lyrics
By the kettlespot I watch the waves
Diesel engines hum and lights undulate
Daydreaming of freedom on the seas
Salt in hair, rough skin, open eyes
But here I am, a ferry deckhand
Beneath the city's neon band
Watching the night, listening to the call
Of the open water, beyond it all
Oh, neon haven, you glow so bright
Guiding the lost, through dark of night
Your electric pulse, it sustains the dream
Of escaping to where the waters gleam
By the kettlespot I watch the night
Lone seagulls cry, neon lights excite
Dreams of escape, of undying blue
Where the horizon meets the ferry anew
But here I am, a ferry deckhand
Beneath the city's neon band
Watching the night, listening to the call
Of the open water, beyond it all
Oh, neon haven, you glow so bright
Guiding the lost, through dark of night
Your electric pulse, it sustains the dream
Of escaping to where the waters gleam
In the glow of the city's artificial light
I'll dream of freedom, the ocean's endless night
Far from the grind, the din and the fray
I'll chase the horizon, come what may
Neon city lights, electric noir
Forever guiding, an endless shore
I'll find my way, hold on to the gleam
In this neon haven, where dreams are seen
Neon city lights flicker bright
Street pulse humming electric night
Chef's knife rings, steam rises high
Midnight kitchen, ferrystation sky
