Track Insight / Lyrics
Click the shutter, hold the frame
Cold gray water, no one's name
Old wood creaking by the pier
Something calling, drawing near
One gold string begins to bend
Where the harbor limits end
Heavy coats and frozen breath
Winter dancing close to death
Play the salt water bow
Sing it loud and sing it now
Let the rhythm pull the tide
Where the lonely spirits hide
Leather case and rusted latch
Sooty fingers, kindled match
Bowed across a wooden spine
Tracing out a jagged line
One gold string begins to bend
Where the harbor limits end
Heavy coats and frozen breath
Winter dancing close to death
Play the salt water bow
Sing it loud and sing it now
Let the rhythm pull the tide
Where the lonely spirits hide
Buses idling in the rain
Window glass and window stain
I keep snapshots in my hand
Wandering this salted land
Breathe the brine and taste the spray
Wash the city grit away
Hold the note and hold it long
Turn the wind into a song
Play the salt water bow
Sing it loud and sing it now
Let the rhythm pull the tide
Where the lonely spirits hide
Copper coins in velvet red
Words that never need be said
One last photo of the view
Faded yellow, turning blue
Play the salt water bow
Sing it loud and sing it now
Let the rhythm pull the tide
Where the lonely spirits hide
Salty air, silver light.
Salty air, silver light.
