Track Insight / Lyrics

You watch the ribbon catch first light The carriage waits for fingers tight Salt air has rusted every key But dawn still sings in C and D The typewriter knows the tide It holds the stories deep inside Each letter floats on morning foam You read the dock like coming home The ferry left an hour past Its wake dissolves in glass at last You press a key it sticks it sings A hymn half-remembered on the strings The typewriter knows the tide It holds the stories deep inside Each letter floats on morning foam You read the dock like coming home Your alto breath forms clouds above The QWERTY rows you used to love No congregation left to hear Just gulls that cry in counter-tenor clear The typewriter knows the tide It holds the stories deep inside Each letter floats on morning foam You read the dock like coming home The paper feeds itself to wind A sermon typed on borrowed skin You fold the page and watch it go The tide will write what you don't know The typewriter knows the tide It holds the stories deep inside Each letter floats on morning foam You read the dock like coming home The ribbon spins its final line Where water meets the keys of time Morning keeps the keys in time
