Track Insight / Lyrics

Morning tide climbs the wooden pilings Salt crusts the pliers in my calloused grip Gulls cry above the tangled rigging I splice the line where storm waves dip Harbor wakes to the dial tone's ring Salt and wire hold the harbor fast Salt and wire built to outlast Voice rides current through the storm Salt and wire keep us warm Salt and wire keep us warm Fog rolls thick across the mooring rings Insulation cracks where barnacles bite Static hums where the bell buoy sings I tape the joint against the night Connection holds through the driving rain Salt and wire hold the harbor fast Salt and wire built to outlast Voice rides current through the storm Salt and wire keep us warm Salt and wire keep us warm Lantern lens sweeps the channel mouth Keeper's log marks each gale and squall My lineman's belt fits south to north I answer every distress call Light and line guide the wandering home Salt and wire hold the harbor fast Salt and wire built to outlast Voice rides current through the storm Salt and wire keep us warm Salt and wire keep us warm Copper sings when the nor'easter blows Ground rod driven in tidal clay Signal passes where nobody goes Steady hand on the frayed array Current flows where the dark tide runs Sunset paints the mastheads copper gold Coil the slack on the weathered reel Stories carried on the lines I hold Harbor breathes beneath the keel Night watch keeps the circuit whole Salt and wire hold the harbor fast Salt and wire built to outlast Voice rides current through the storm Salt and wire keep us warm Salt and wire keep us warm Line stays live when the lantern fails Salt and wire Line holds true
