Track Insight / Lyrics

Cold coffee steam curls round the chrome Three clean breakfast plates wait at home Fog crawls past the windowpane Steam hides every backward shame Pour one more before the train Rain taps softly on the chrome Your cap hangs crooked by the door Thirty years kept shore to shore Now coffee cools beside the floor Grease and thunder, nothing more Old salt sailor, learn to float Throw your fear across the deep Paddle where the blue winds blow Let the water lift you home Stay with me until you know Your duffel rests beneath the stair A whistle echoes through the hall Steel-heeled boots polish one and all Old tattoos map the tiled wall Fresh towels wait where swimmers fall Across the park the basin glows Morning shadows fringe the rail I chalk your hands, I chalk your toes One kick echoes, one more fail Yet laughter bubbles through the pale Old salt sailor, learn to float Throw your fear across the deep Paddle where the blue winds blow Let the water lift you home Stay with me until you know Then the deep pulls hard once Your lungs forget their iron code I hold the coffee, warm the dark You kick the wall and swallow gold Tomorrow wakes a little bright Chlorine brightens both our socks Steam presses fingerprints from glass Your captain laughs, your burden drops The empty lifeboat rocks at last Breakfast, warmth, and steady clocks Old salt sailor, learn to float Throw your fear across the deep Paddle where the blue winds blow Let the water lift you home Stay with me until you know Old salt sailor, swim ashore Throw your shadow past the deep Paddle where the blue winds blow Let the water open doors Stay with me and learn the score At the gate your feet find floor Breakfast orders line the door You whistle low, then ask for more One hundred pushups, two, three, four The river waits beyond the shore
