Cold salt on the morning breeze
Mist hangs heavy through the trees
Copper wires and iron strings
Hear the way the city rings
Turn the silver key just right
Chase the shadow into light
Find the note that stays in line
Walk the pier until it's fine
Wooden planks beneath my shoe
Water turns a deeper blue
Tighten up the middle C
Sailing out to open sea
Turn the silver key just right
Chase the shadow into light
Find the note that stays in line
Walk the pier until it's fine
Foghorns moan a heavy sound
Feet are steady on the ground
Felt is damp and air is thick
Old habits make the rhythm stick
Turn the silver key just right
Chase the shadow into light
Find the note that stays in line
Walk the pier until it's fine
One wrong turn and all is gone
Wait until the break of dawn
Listen for the hidden tone
Walking on this pier alone
Tuning pins are gold and bright
Holding on with all my might
San Francisco hides the view
Everything feels clean and new
Turn the silver key just right
Chase the shadow into light
Find the note that stays in line
Walk the pier until it's fine
Tuning out the grey
Just a mile away
