Track Insight / Lyrics
Cobblestones beneath my feet
Felt each syncopated beat
Once I knew whose steps I'd meet
Now the docks are empty, neat
Seven sunrises lost to time
Her searching eyes never mine
Counting steps, where love did climb
To the ferry's waiting line
Shattered steps, midnight light
Motionless, reflections tight
Whispers answer solitude's night
Here alone, where love used to take flight
Four seasons fade like faded dress
Scents of salt and nicotine stress
Behind the pier, a lonely nest
Where only dreams are left, unrest
Ghostly forms slide by in sleep
Unseen crew on silent freight
Midnight ships sail to some deep
Unknown shore, a mystic reef
Gulls wake screaming to the dawn
Entrails of the city's morn
Time and tide, each morning born
Wash the night's footprints gone
Eight moonrises past, I think
When her footsteps softly linked
To mine, in a tender link
Now only shadows retell
Shattered steps, neon streets
Echoes of what used to meet
Whispers of a love so sweet
In a city where hearts retreat
Dawns come harder as the years
Deal cruel blows, dispel the tears
Not a single glance, no words
Even the wind no longer hears
Strewn across the empty dock
Memory's fragments, shards of rock
Once entwined, now only block
Steps that led from moon to lock
Whispers fade as I turn
Into the city's silken burn
Shattered steps, the night returns
Only shadows, only signs remain to yearn
