Track Insight / Lyrics
My tin ribs catch the porch's song
Each thunder crack rolls heavy long
Salt rust flakes where the spray belonged
Keeper's memory hums lantern song
Wind shakes the screens and rattles glass
Old nails scream in the framing mass
My handle trembles, cold and fast
Storm remembers, storm will pass
Rust listens, rust remembers
Tin ears catch the storm's hot embers
Porch wood drinks what heaven renders
Rust listens, rust surrenders
Sea foam kissed my galvanized skin
Now rain writes where the gulls have been
Each bolt illuminates the grain
Porch boards drink the heaven's rain
Wind shakes the screens and rattles glass
Old nails scream in the framing mass
My handle trembles, cold and fast
Storm remembers, storm will pass
Rust listens, rust remembers
Tin ears catch the storm's hot embers
Porch wood drinks what heaven renders
Rust listens, rust surrenders
Lantern lens once cut the midnight black
Now I catch the thunder's cracking back
Spout aimed at the weeping, wild sky
Drink the dark where gulls refuse to fly
No keeper climbs the tower stair
No beam sweeps out across the air
Just tin and wood and rain's loud prayer
Rust listens everywhere
Rust listens, rust remembers
Tin ears catch the storm's hot embers
Porch wood drinks what heaven renders
Rust listens, rust surrenders
Dawn will bleed through purple clouds
Porch will steam in morning shrouds
My rust will bloom like orange flowers
Counting up the storm's slow hours
Rust listens, rust remembers
Tin ears catch the storm's hot embers
Porch wood drinks what heaven renders
Rust listens, rust surrenders
Rust listens, rust remembers
Rain hammers tin ribs tonight
Rain hammers tin ribs tonight
