What is “Harbor Light” about?
"Harbor Light" has one of the smallest lyrics on Tide Clock, just three lines addressed to a harbor light with a plea to "hold me close." The image suggests a lamp at the water's edge, something to steer toward as the night deepens, and the request is simple enough to work as a refrain rather than a story. At track eight, it sits at the midpoint of the album's sixteen tracks, between "Paper Moon" and "Gulf Stream."
