Track Insight / Lyrics
My cab smells like diesel and rain
Fare receipts pile on the driver's strain
Gulls scream loud past the rusted crane
Paper wings dodge the harbor chain
Child folds hope in a crisp white sheet
Wind takes flight where the pier ends meet
Salt kisses edges, bitter and sweet
Harbor holds what the sky can't keep
Small hands tremble on splintered wood
Launch the dream like a captain would
Gust snags the nose, lifts understood
No engine roar, just doing good
Child folds hope in a crisp white sheet
Wind takes flight where the pier ends meet
Salt kisses edges, bitter and sweet
Harbor holds what the sky can't keep
I've driven miles where the trolley ran
Seen lovers kiss, seen business plans
But nothing flies like a child's hand
Trusting air to understand
Child folds hope in a crisp white sheet
Wind takes flight where the pier ends meet
Salt kisses edges, bitter and sweet
Harbor holds what the sky can't keep
Plane dips low, kisses brine wet
Wingtip catches a cold sunset
Driver watches, cigarette debt
Pier lights blink, night silhouette
Child folds hope in a crisp white sheet
Wind takes flight where the pier ends meet
Salt kisses edges, bitter and sweet
Harbor holds what the sky can't keep
Paper wings on a salty street
Dreams take flight on harbor beat
Meter clicks slow, fare complete
Salt paper wings, bitter sweet
