Track Insight / Lyrics
Copper rooster rides the harbor breeze
Salt etches green on bronze decrees
Sydney lights blink through the fig tree shade
Dusk paints the sandstone, color fade
Vane turns slow where the east wind blows
Salt air bites where the mangrove grows
Lighthouse dark but the lens still knows
Copper compass, steady it goes
Ferry horns cut through the cooling air
Phosphorescent wake cuts everywhere
Opera sails catch the final gold
Stories etched in the stone, retold
Vane turns slow where the east wind blows
Salt air bites where the mangrove grows
Lighthouse dark but the lens still knows
Copper compass, steady it goes
Keeper's log notes the shifting degree
One more night watching over the sea
Copper feathers catch the southern cross
No storm comes without tallying loss
Vane turns slow where the east wind blows
Salt air bites where the mangrove grows
Lighthouse dark but the lens still knows
Copper compass, steady it goes
Hands that trimmed wicks now trace the patina
Years measured in gales, not in linear
The vane keeps spinning, indifferent, true
Pointing home for the likes of you
Morning will break on the steel arch bridge
Vane still turns on its copper ridge
Keeper rests where the fig roots twine
Harbor breathes in the salt brine line
Vane turns slow where the east wind blows
Salt air bites where the mangrove grows
Lighthouse dark but the lens still knows
Copper compass, steady it goes
Copper compass, the harbor knows
Steady it goes, steady it goes
Harpsichord fades like foam on sand
Wooden flute sighs across the land
