Track Insight / Lyrics
I was built for lake and current
Now I sit on porch planks dry
Coffee steam is so persistent
Thunder cracks the evening sky
Porch boat watches through the rain
Keeping vigil, staying sane
Lightning paints the porch light gold
Wood remembers lake and main
Stories in the grain unfold
Night shift ends but I remain
Regulars order eggs and bacon
Diner clock ticks slow, so loud
Boat dreams of the waves it has taken
Thunder shakes the old porch proud
Felt piano plays soft in the corner
Pizzicato strings pluck low and slow
Synth blips bloom like sudden heat lightning
Wooden percussion marks the tempo
Porch boat watches through the rain
Keeping vigil, staying sane
Lightning paints the porch light gold
Wood remembers lake and main
Stories in the grain unfold
Night shift ends but I remain
I never asked for porch retirement
Just to hold the line and listen
Rain writes verses unrhyming
Thunder provides the glisten
Morning comes in pale and watery
Coffee cups are drained and long gone
Boat still watches, ever so faithful
Porch light flickers with the dawn
Porch boat watches through the rain
Keeping vigil, staying sane
Lightning paints the porch light gold
Wood remembers lake and main
Stories in the grain unfold
Night shift ends but I remain
Porch boat watches through the rain
Keeping vigil, staying sane
Lightning paints the porch light gold
Wood remembers lake and main
Stories in the grain unfold
Night shift ends but I remain
Porch boat watches through the rain
Keeping vigil, staying sane
Rain stops. Porch holds. Boat remains.
Wood remembers. Water stains.
