Track Insight / Lyrics
You roll in on morning fog
Keys strike slow like weary jog
Dock sits empty, gulls cry loud
Typewriter head bowed to cloud
Meter clicks on salt-scarred wood
Dawn breaks cold on steel and glass
Each letter carved where it stood
You type the night into past
Ribbon at dawn, you hunt the phrase
Ferry gone, the dock decays
Strike each key like meter fare
Words arrive on midnight air
Platen turns with rusted groan
Paper feeds from unknown zone
Carriage slides on frozen rail
Morning wind turns typing pale
Meter clicks on salt-scarred wood
Dawn breaks cold on steel and glass
Each letter carved where it stood
You type the night into past
Ribbon at dawn, you hunt the phrase
Ferry gone, the dock decays
Strike each key like meter fare
Words arrive on midnight air
Ink smells deep of diesel smoke
Letters bleed like engine choke
Space bar hits with heavy thumb
Silence waits for words to come
No passenger, no fare to pay
Sunrise paints the water gold
Just keys that click the night away
Stories typed but never sold
Ribbon at dawn, you hunt the phrase
Ferry gone, the dock decays
Strike each key like meter fare
Words arrive on midnight air
Final page feeds through the roller
Dawn light makes the harbor smolder
You tear the sheet, the message clear
Another trip, another year
Ribbon at dawn, you hunt the phrase
Ferry gone, the dock decays
Strike each key like meter fare
Words arrive on midnight air
Keys go silent, dock stands still
Morning types the final bill
