Track Insight / Lyrics
You fold whites in fluorescent glow
Salt crust flakes from denim knee
Navy charts you used to know
Now just lint and memory
Spin cycle turns the tide around
Salt in the spin goes nowhere bound
Detergent foam like broken cloud
You watch the gray water go down
Coffee steam rises from your cup
Quarter slots eat silver coins
Radar screens have all gone dark
Now just cycles, spin and join
Spin cycle turns the tide around
Salt in the spin goes nowhere bound
Detergent foam like broken cloud
You watch the gray water go down
Dryer tumbles towels rough
Static cracks like radio
Morse code dots on cotton cuff
Messages you used to know
Spin cycle turns the tide around
Salt in the spin goes nowhere bound
Detergent foam like broken cloud
You watch the gray water go down
Horizon folded into squares
No compass needle, no north star
Just the hum and heated air
Landlocked finally, here you are
Morning shift will clock in soon
Rain lets up on metal skin
You stack the baskets, call it done
Dry land suits you, sailor man
Spin cycle turns the tide around
Salt in the spin goes nowhere bound
Detergent foam like broken cloud
You watch the gray water go down
Spin cycle turns the tide around
Salt in the spin goes nowhere bound
Clean socks folded, tour complete
Shore leave tastes like dryer heat
