about

Written by Tom Maloney about his sister Cate's set net commercial fishing camp on the Ugashik River in Alaska.

lyrics

It's 5 pm on the east coast
it's 8 o'clock on the west
but up on top of the lines and the crowds
That sun just keeps on spinnin' without rest

Chorus:
Where it comes in clean and it goes out muddy
They swim out fresh and they come back red
Where the waters heave on the corkline
and the graying dawn of the midnight sun
has a rhythm all of it's own

A cool salt sea by the mornin's tide
a muddy river's all that's left here by one
the full moon sails over the mountain
and that sun just keeps on spinnin' without rest

Chorus

Instrumental

Can an anchor hold back this river
Can my eyes lead me home in this fog
Will I find peace on this fixed dry land
without breathing in the salt and the mud

Chorus, but last line:
holds a rhythm that will guide me home
Last Chorus again
