Lyric

First light on the harbor glass

Salt wind moving down the quay

Ferry bells and mooring ropes

Harbor windows flicker on the sea

Cafe shade on wet stone steps

Pale reflections stretch and bend

Morning lifts the paper flags

As the tide keeps time again

Keep the waterline in sight

Let the shoreline lights unfold

Soft blue code, thin and clear

Let the next day settle here

Less about speed, more about lift

Less about noise, more about drift

When the ferry bells return

Let the whole bay breathe and turn

Blue glass shimmer, tidewash bass

Marble quay, electric rain

Lantern rows and window lace

Pull the midnight through the frame

Salt on steel, soft engine hum

Harbor signs in silver haze

Round the pier, the shadows spin

Till the water bends the air

Later on, the dockside shifts

Linen shirts and balcony shade

Lantern boats in steady lines

Shopfront mirrors catch the haze

Easy laughter fills the air

Wind flips pages on a bench

Evening maps the waterline

In a color close to dusk

Keep the waterline in sight

Let the shoreline lights unfold

Soft blue code, thin and clear

Let the next day settle here

Less about speed, more about lift

Less about noise, more about drift

When the ferry bells return

Let the whole bay breathe and turn

Lantern rows, salt on glass

Marble quay, a softer rain

Window lights and ferry wakes

Tracing ribbons through the frame

Footsteps clean on polished stone

Harbor hum beneath the air

Round the pier, the colors lean

Till the water bends the air

Past the breakwater, cloudline thin

Every bright edge softens down

No hard lines in the moving dark

Only tide around the town

One last breath, one more turn

Then the shoreline slips from view

Blue glass shimmer, midnight tide

Beacon lights in woven rain

Wake lines fading past the pier

Drawing circles through the frame

Salt wind over quiet steel

Signals blur in silver air

Round the harbor, shadows drift

Till the water holds the dawn

Morning on the panes, slow wash

Salt and gold along the rail

Nothing loud to hold onto

Just the shape of drifting light
