Track Insight / Lyrics
Salty mist rises 'cross the cypress trees
Porch swing creaks, time stands still for me
Coca-Cola hums in the icebox cold
Night's descent like a silk-velvet shroud
Guitar twangs sweet melodies unseen
Snapped like sausages if anyone came teen
I bite my lip, sip coffee's bitter brew
Dusk's honeyed gloom, thoughts start to liquefy
Oh, the tugboat's anchor digs deep into the ground
Bayou's secrets whispered all around
Deep divin' blues in the twilight shade
Fuel for midnight dreams, ease the pain
Barkers howl from the loading docks below
Where cargo ships unload the world to tow
Hispanics, African, Chinese and white
United in service, eyes on the city lights
Guitar twangs sweet melodies unseen
Snapped if anyone should dare to be seen
I bite my lip, eyes on the murky main
Whispers of the wild, where gators reign
Oh, the tugboat's anchor digs deep into the ground
Bayou's secrets whispered all around
Deep divin' blues in the twilight shade
Fuel for midnight dreams, ease the pain
In this lait's stinking, murky, tarnished town
Nobody knows my name, no one knows my crown
I poison all my foes, spare none at all
From the depths of hell, another tale
Oh, the tugboat's anchor digs deep into the ground
Bayou's secrets whispered all around
Deep divin' blues in the twilight shade
Fuel for midnight dreams, ease the pain
Moon's silver smile like a creepy grin
Guitar fades on the catamaran
Rippling waters, river's song
Tugboat's lonely lullaby all night long
