Track Insight / Lyrics
Holding post-watch on this weathered pier
Leaking slow, my elements fear
The salty air, the droplets sting
But in my rust, an art of living clings
Brittle bristles, disappearing down
Into the rotted wood all around
Each night I'm here, through sea and tide
Looking out, my stories I abide
In the city's glow, I stand and wait
For the lovers who'll stop and chat
My stories spill, of midnight strolls
Under stars, amidst the pier's old souls
Raindrops sparkle on my metal hide
Lights of cars, passing by inside
Reflections dance of silhouettes so fine
Secrets whispered, as they stroll in time
Brittle bristles, disappearing down
Into the rotted wood all around
Each night I'm here, through sea and tide
Looking out, my stories I abide
In the city's glow, I stand and wait
For the lovers who'll stop and chat
My stories spill, of midnight strolls
Under stars, amidst the pier's old souls
In my joints, time's passage shows
Portraits on my metal, forever rose
Of fishermen and sailors, and girls so meek
Echoes I hold, of laughter, of shrieks
In the city's glow, I stand and wait
For the lovers who'll stop and chat
My stories spill, of midnight strolls
Under stars, amidst the pier's old souls
Now the dawn approaches, whiffs of smoke
Crowds depart, lights start to break
I'll stay on watch, till dusk descends
For tales yet whispered, in this journey's ends.
