Track Insight / Lyrics
Water's dark and slick as oil, wind whispers through the cranes
Been workin' nights, been dreamin' real, hopin' for the rains
Got my apron tied up tight, smell of coffee in the air
Hear the sirens wailin' low, another shift, another prayer
This old can, watchin' over all, knows every tide and tear
Seen the sun go up and down, year after year
Holdin' secrets in its spout, stories whispered in the breeze
Harbor watch, silent soul, singin' memories
Streetlights bloom like distant suns, castin' shadows long and deep
Lost souls wanderin' the streets, tryin' to fall asleep
Another lonely truck pulls up, the driver nods and shakes his head
Another day, another fight, another word left unsaid
This old can, watchin' over all, knows every tide and tear
Seen the sun go up and down, year after year
Holdin' secrets in its spout, stories whispered in the breeze
Harbor watch, silent soul, singin' memories
Ferry horns are moanin' low, paintin' pictures on the sky
Crows are cawing in the dawn, as the city starts to sigh
Sun's risin' up, a fiery blush, across the harbor's glassy sheen
Another day begins to turn, another story to be seen
This old can, watchin' over all, knows every tide and tear
Seen the sun go up and down, year after year
Holdin' secrets in its spout, stories whispered in the breeze
Harbor watch, silent soul, singin' memories
The rain it starts to fall again, washin' clean the dusty ground
A symphony of city sounds, a hush as peace is found
And this old can, it stands so strong, a sentinel of weathered steel
Keepin' watch on everything, the stories that we feel
This old can, watchin' over all, knows every tide and tear
Seen the sun go up and down, year after year
Holdin' secrets in its spout, stories whispered in the breeze
Harbor watch, silent soul, singin' memories
