Track Insight / Lyrics
Winter fog wraps brick and steel
Gauges glowing, wheel to wheel
Choir chords in memory rise
Thrusters answer, holding skies
Breath forms clouds like psalms we knew
Pressure reads at two-two-two
Canal lights blur gold and gray
Waiting for the break of day
Thruster hymn in Amsterdam
Fog eats bridges, fog eats dam
We sing the checklists, low and sweet
Where canal water kisses street
Harpsichord in headphone feed
Cello drones where reeds concede
Violin climbs, reel goes round
Flute cuts sharp through foggy sound
Breath forms clouds like psalms we knew
Pressure reads at two-two-two
Canal lights blur gold and gray
Waiting for the break of day
Thruster hymn in Amsterdam
Fog eats bridges, fog eats dam
We sing the checklists, low and sweet
Where canal water kisses street
Tourist boats are frozen still
Pilot waits on tower hill
Hymn tune hums in cracked refrain
Thrusters cough and wake again
Thruster hymn in Amsterdam
Fog eats bridges, fog eats dam
We sing the checklists, low and sweet
Where canal water kisses street
Coffee thermos, leather glove
Radio hums drone above
Alto line descends the scale
Fog lifts slow as heavy veil
Thruster hymn in Amsterdam
Fog eats bridges, fog eats dam
We sing the checklists, low and sweet
Where canal water kisses street
Sun breaks through at nine-fifteen
Clearest sky this pilot's seen
Last note hangs on violin
Fog is gone and we begin
Thruster hymn in Amsterdam
Fog ate bridges, fog ate dam
We sang the checklists, low and sweet
Where canal water kisses street
Thruster hymn, the fog is gone
We land where canal waters run
Amen, engines. Amen, sky
Clear props. Clear props. We fly
