Crossing

A harbor at daybreak, where tide, light and passing lives become part of the same quiet movement.

Every wave keeps carrying a story passing through.

Crossing watches a place wake up rather than pushing the journey forward. Harbor life becomes a reminder that everything arrives, leaves and changes without needing to announce itself.

The song is about movement on a wider scale: tides, boats, streets and people all passing through the same morning light.

The words.

Read the complete lyric as it appears on the record.

The harbor wakes in whispers As the tide begins to turn Fishing boats are drifting out While lanterns softly burn The gulls have found the morning Before the streets below The sea already knows the things The wind has yet to show
