Track Insight / Lyrics
The mist clings low to iron steel
A boat sits deep in slate grey swell
He drops the anchor by the keel
The tide runs fast, he knows it well
Under the span the river runs
Cold and deep and blind
Under the span he waits for none
Just the tide and time
My lamp swings wide across the channel
The beam cuts white through heavy air
He strikes a match, a sudden flare
The glowing tip shows he is there
Under the span the river runs
Cold and deep and blind
Under the span he waits for none
Just the tide and time
Trucks roar overhead on concrete deck
Their headlights paint the foggy glass
He checks the tension on his net
And lets the heavy minutes pass
Under the span the river runs
Cold and deep and blind
Under the span he waits for none
Just the tide and time
The sky turns pale, the mist lifts slow
He hauls the net, it comes up light
No silver flash, no heavy glow
Just weed and mud, a wasted night
Under the span the river runs
Cold and deep and blind
Under the span he waits for none
Just the tide and time
Just the tide and time
