Track Insight / Lyrics
Streetlights bleedin' on the bay
Fog rolls in, ends the day
Just a flicker, soft and slow
Under the pier, where shadows go
Coffee's brewin', thick and black
Another late shift, no turnin' back
See a pale wing, brushin' the beam
Lost little moth, livin' a dream
Water's slappin' against the wood
Wishin' on nothin', misunderstood
He's dancin' alone in the misty haze
Lost in the rhythm of bygone days
Pier moth, wings of gray
Hummin' a tune, driftin' away
Pale reflection, under the light
Flyin' all night, holdin' on tight
Old man Hemlock, at his usual seat
Tellin' tall tales, bittersweet
Says that moth holds a sailor's plea
Lost at sea, eternally free
Water's slappin' against the wood
Wishin' on nothin', misunderstood
He's dancin' alone in the misty haze
Lost in the rhythm of bygone days
Pier moth, wings of gray
Hummin' a tune, driftin' away
Pale reflection, under the light
Flyin' all night, holdin' on tight
Grease on the griddle, sizzlin' low
Watchin' the ships come and go
Each one a story, left untold
Like this moth, brave and bold
They say he carries whispers on the breeze
Of sunken treasure and restless seas
A tiny beacon, in the dark unknown
Flyin' a message, all alone
Pier moth, wings of gray
Hummin' a tune, driftin' away
Pale reflection, under the light
Flyin' all night, holdin' on tight
Another order, eggs and toast
Lost in thought, like a weary ghost
This little moth, he understands
The quiet sadness of these lands
Pier moth, wings of gray!
Hummin' a tune, driftin' away!
Pale reflection, under the light!
Flyin' all night, holdin' on tight!
Fog keeps rollin', soft and deep
Secrets the bay will always keep
Just a moth, and a misty pier Another night, disappears.
