Track Insight / Lyrics

I've held three thousand nylon lines Counted every tide and sign Fishermen pay in silver coin Tourists leave their trash behind But this morning brings a different weight Four paws caught in chain and grate No fare to pay no destination Stray hound howls at slack tide dawn Teeth stuck fast in iron jaw Meter running no one home Rusted cleat holds tight alone Seen the captains curse the fog Watched the deckhands lose their dogs Every knot knows my steel throat Salt eats deep but I don't rot Now the hound's breath steams cold and gray Trapped between the pier and bay No radio to call the tow Stray hound howls at slack tide dawn Teeth stuck fast in iron jaw Meter running no one home Rusted cleat holds tight alone Proverb says the early bird Gets the worm but gets the hurt Old taxi knows the shortest route Silence costs an extra payout Chain cuts deep in matted fur Tide turns slow a blur of blur I've hauled barges held the fleet Never caught a thing with teeth Dawn light paints the water red Stray hound howls at slack tide dawn Teeth stuck fast in iron jaw Meter running no one home Rusted cleat holds tight alone Deckhand comes with bolt cutters bright Snaps the link in morning light Hound runs off on three good legs Cleat stays put while water begs Stray hound howls at slack tide dawn Teeth stuck fast in iron jaw Meter running no one home Rusted cleat holds tight alone Rusted cleat holds tight alone Bass walks the pier at four AM Dawn breaks on the rusted cleat
