Track Insight / Lyrics
Rusted spout keeps watch through salt
Decades etched in iron fault
Ferry wake cuts harbor glass
Dusk paints sails in molten brass
Metal throat drinks rain and wind
Patient as the shore it's pinned
City exhales, lights ignite
Bridge becomes a necklace bright
Tin saint stands where gulls cry loud
Rust and salt make holy ground
Water feeds what drought denied
Faith lives in the oxidized
Couple leans on rail nearby
Thermos steam climbs toward the sky
She traces rust with wool-gloved hand
He reads names in carved-in brand
Tin saint stands where gulls cry loud
Rust and salt make holy ground
Water feeds what drought denied
Faith lives in the oxidized
Choir breath remembers Latin verse
Alto line beneath the hearse
No organ here, just wind and wire
Hymn hums through the tired spire
Jogger pauses, checks her watch
Catches breath on sandstone notch
Nods toward the faithful can
Salutes the rust the best she can
Night descending, harbor sleeps
Can keeps vigil, harbor keeps
Stars reflect in salt-rimmed eye
Morning comes and tide runs high
Tin saint stands where gulls cry loud
Rust and salt make holy ground
Water feeds what drought denied
Faith lives in the oxidized
Tin saint stands where gulls cry loud
Rust and salt make holy ground
Spout catches first light, gold and crowned
Harbor wakes to tin saint's sound
