Track Insight / Lyrics
You walk the ridge of salt and stone
Where cold Atlantic winds have blown
You count the tiles in grey and gold
Before the harbor air turns cold
One step, two step, keep the beat
The Sydney dusk is on your feet
Round the bend and through the haze
Lost inside the amber glaze
The oil is low inside the glass
I watch the city shadows pass
You hold your coat against the spray
To keep the winter ghosts away
A copper coin, a rusted key
You stare across the churning sea
The ferry bells begin to chime
A steady clock for wasted time
One step, two step, keep the beat
The Sydney dusk is on your feet
Round the bend and through the haze
Lost inside the amber glaze
The beam is spinning white and wide
To pull the broken sailors inside
I keep the wick and trim the light
To guide you home throughout the night
You reach the rail and stop to stare
The smell of brine is in your hair
Your boots are worn, your pace is slow
With nowhere left for you to go
One step, two step, keep the beat
The Sydney dusk is on your feet
Round the bend and through the haze
Lost inside the amber glaze
Just one more step to find the door
The tide is hitting on the shore
One more step.
One more step.
