Track Insight / Lyrics

Key in lock the gate gives way Salt wind bites the exposed bay Ferry cuts a white foam line Opera sails catch final shine Night shift starts on harbor time [Pre- Watch changes at the stroke of four Light takes over from the shore Keeper's pace not fast not slow The harbor breathes at end of day My lamp cuts through the cooling gray Each sweep a promise each turn a prayer That morning finds the harbor there Boots on steel the catwalk rings Logbook open pencil sings Tide marks etched on concrete pilings Night nurse checks her watch waiting Harbor holds its breath listening [Pre- Container lights blink Morse code rows Pilot boat comes comes and goes Radar sweeps the channel clean The harbor breathes at end of day My lamp cuts through the cooling gray Each sweep a promise each turn a prayer That morning finds the harbor there Thirty years on Bass Strait rock Fog horn shook the window clock Now I watch the city glow Different light same watch to show Salt stays in the bones you know The harbor breathes at end of day My lamp cuts through the cooling gray Each sweep a promise each turn a prayer That morning finds the harbor there Thermos steam rises in the cold Harbor stories left untold Harbour Bridge throws diamond arc Reflected deep a liquid mark Morning comes on grey and gold The harbor breathes at end of day My lamp cuts through the cooling gray Each sweep a promise each turn a prayer That morning finds the harbor there Eastern sky turns pearl and rose Night shift ends the morning grows Key turns quiet in the gate Another watch has done its wait Lamp goes dark the keeper goes The harbor breathes at end of day My lamp cuts through the cooling gray Each sweep a promise each turn a prayer That morning finds the harbor there Lamp dimmed logbook closed day begins Harbor breathes again the cycle wins
