Track Insight / Lyrics
Steel prow splits the harbor hush
Diesel cloud forms oily crush
Gravel drinks the amber blush
Tire ruts catch the evening rush
[Pre-
Shutter clicks on expired stock
Viewfinder frames the working dock
Film advances, gear and clock
Light stretches past the container block
Tugboat beam kisses gravel light
Sodium spill on crushed stone white
Engine thumps through twilight deep
Rhodes chords bleed from passing jeep
This moment stays, this moment keeps
Rope coils snake on wet deck plates
Salt crust maps the wheelhouse states
Porch lamp spills on rutted clay
Camera catches end of day
[Pre-
Aperture grabs the sodium glow
Negative holds the undertow
Winder turns, the frames align
Twilight surrenders to the line
Tugboat beam kisses gravel light
Sodium spill on crushed stone white
Engine thumps through twilight deep
Rhodes chords bleed from passing jeep
This moment stays, this moment keeps
Crane arms scratch the bruised sky dome
Container rows like teeth of chrome
Exhaust trails the tugboat's wake
Gravel glows for distance sake
Tugboat beam kisses gravel light
Sodium spill on crushed stone white
Engine thumps through twilight deep
Rhodes chords bleed from passing jeep
This moment stays, this moment keeps
Film canister clicks in pocket deep
Promises the frames to keep
Bus ticket burns a hole in jeans
Harbor fades in rearview scenes
Tugboat beam kisses gravel light
Sodium spill on crushed stone white
Engine thumps through twilight deep
Rhodes chords bleed from passing jeep
This moment stays, this moment keeps
Morning develops what night exposed
Gravel light on steel disposed
Contact sheet shows the tugboat's path
Negative holds the aftermath
Tugboat beam kisses gravel light
Sodium spill on crushed stone white
Engine thumps through twilight deep
Rhodes chords bleed from passing jeep
This moment stays, this moment keeps
Shutter closes, gravel light
Negative holds the harbor night
