Track Insight / Lyrics
Past midnight, harbor lights aglow
I'm alone with shadows dancing slow
Each creak, each groan, a metronome, steady
A solitary iron anchor, steadfast, ready
For the waves to pound, to test my strength
To hold fast till the morning's length
But for now, the emptiness I crave
A haven from the noise, the city's wave
To let my thoughts untangle, unwind
And ponder life's great mysteries in time
Oh, Sydney Steps, secrets you hold
Each step a story, each step a tale to be told
In the wind's sigh, I hear the past
Whispers of love, of joy and despair at last
I'm just a man, an anchor cast
In the harbor of the city, where dreams are vast
From the Opera House to the Harbour Bridge high
I've seen it all, the tidal change in the sky
The ships that sail, the ferries that glide
A world in motion, yet here I abide
In turmoil, in tranquility, through every phase
Steeling myself for whatever seas and storms of life embracing
But for now, the emptiness I crave
A haven from the noise, the city's wave
To let my thoughts untangle, unwind
And ponder life's great mysteries in time
Oh, Sydney Steps, secrets you hold
Each step a story, each step a tale to be told
In the wind's sigh, I hear the past
Whispers of love, of joy and despair at last
I'm just a man, an anchor cast
In the harbor of the city, where dreams are vast
The city sleeps, the day's long gone
Leaving me with these steps, to slowly move along
To find solace, my own rhythm's beat
In this urban wilderness, to confront defeat
I will persist, step by steady step
Bearing witness to the ebb and flow, the city's breath
Oh, Sydney Steps, secrets you hold
Each step a story, each step a tale to be told
In the wind's sigh, I hear the past
Whispers of love, of joy and despair at last
I'm just a man, an anchor cast
In the harbor of the city, where dreams are vast
Concrete underfoot, steel railings cool
As I reach the steps' end, my ride whole
