Track Insight / Lyrics
Dusk descends on whispering orchard
Ornamental wisps of ivory snow dance
Through branches that once held blossoms
Now crystalline sculptures above and around
Feeling the cold on my skin so fine
As the tug slowly drifts toward the dock lines
I'll keep the vigil until morning light
Watching dreams drift across this winter's night
Winter watch, over quiet lands
Guarding the secrets of slumbering hands
In sheltered bay, where sea meets shore
All is peaceful, as dawn's fire burns once more
Frost on the hold, in darkness below
The rhythms of waves, and the engines' low moan
A solitary sentinel of the night
Ever watchful, through the frigid light
Feeling the cold on my skin so fine
As the tug slowly drifts toward the dock lines
I'll keep the vigil until morning light
Watching dreams drift across this winter's night
Winter watch, over quiet lands
Guarding the secrets of slumbering hands
In sheltered bay, where sea meets shore
All is peaceful, as dawn's fire burns once more
In the silence, I begin to hear
A symphony of earthly, winter's gear
Trees creaking, snowflakes in the breeze
Nature's lullaby, on man-made eases
Winter watch, over quiet lands
Guarding the secrets of slumbering hands
In sheltered bay, where sea meets shore
All is peaceful, as dawn's fire burns once more
(6s of marimba and pads fading to black)
