Grill screams bacon at three a.m. sharp Salt spray hits the porch boards hard and fast Regulars know I close at midnight But the beacon spins through wind and blast Storm hits the glass like a fry cook's temper Waves crash the rocks like dropped dinner plates Light cuts the dark steady measured patient My shift don't end till the morning breaks Porch light swings on a chain of salt and rust Ships count flashes sailors place their trust Coffee's black the bacon's crisp and hot Storm can't kill what the keeper's got Eggs flip clean on the seasoned steel Rain hammers rhythm on the tin roof Truckers yell for hash through wire mesh Beacon sweeps the whitecaps fresh and new Storm hits the glass like a fry cook's temper Waves crash the rocks like dropped dinner plates Light cuts the dark steady measured patient My shift don't end till the morning breaks Porch light swings on a chain of salt and rust Ships count flashes sailors place their trust Coffee's black the bacon's crisp and hot Storm can't kill what the keeper's got Fog rolls thick as gravy on the griddle Horn blasts low from a freighter lost at sea I wipe the counter pour a refill little Keeper watches waits lets the light be No customers tonight just me and weather Radio static Morse code dots and dashes Porch boards groan under boot leather Dawn cracks slow as eggshell smashes Porch light swings on a chain of salt and rust Ships count flashes sailors place their trust Coffee's black the bacon's crisp and hot Storm can't kill what the keeper's got Sunrise paints the sky like yolks on white Truckers roll in for the morning special Light goes dark the lens sleeps tight Grill fires up the day gets practical Porch light swings on a chain of salt and rust Ships count flashes sailors place their trust Coffee's black the bacon's crisp and hot Storm can't kill what the keeper's got Porch light swings steady through the night Cup's empty grill's clean light's still burning Next shift comes at three same joke same earning
