Track Insight / Lyrics
Kettle sings low morning tune
Feathers settle on the spoon
Steam rises from the iron pot
Owl blinks where the copper's hot
Salt air drifts through wooden door
Talons grip the checkered floor
Wind remembers every beam
Keeper watches in the dream
Wings fold slow on pine shelf
Keeper knows the sea himself
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Quiet hour sets them free
Lamp burns steady through the night
Owl and keeper share the light
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Claws click soft on ceramic rim
Steam curls up on wings of whim
Beak clicks once at rising vapor
Keeper pours a second favor
Wind remembers every beam
Keeper watches in the dream
Wings fold slow on pine shelf
Keeper knows the sea himself
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Quiet hour sets them free
Lamp burns steady through the night
Owl and keeper share the light
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Thirty years the lens turned round
Now the stove gives steady sound
No more climbing spiral stair
Owl sits close in heated air
Storm hits hard on window glass
Kettle whistles, moments pass
Two old souls in warm retreat
Salt and steam and heartbeat beat
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Quiet hour sets them free
Lamp burns steady through the night
Owl and keeper share the light
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Dawn paints gold on copper side
Owl spreads wings to turn the tide
Keeper nods at empty chair
Steam still rises in the air
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Quiet hour sets them free
Lamp burns steady through the night
Owl and keeper share the light
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Steam and feathers, salt and tea
Kettle sings the final line
Feathers gone at morning shine
