Lyrics
The third shard of Hanseatic stoneware
Cool against her thumb on the Altona floor.
Sunday, four a.m., before the flight,
Illuminated by a single task-light.
He watches how the pressure is applied,
With nothing left to fix or to decide.
[Chorus]
Weight and the wait and the hairline crack,
Something given that you don't get back.
Weight and the wait, the city is humming,
Something ending and something coming.
[Verse 2]
The sharp smell of conservation glue,
A window open on the morning dew.
The gulls are screaming over Fischmarkt steel,

Her tired hands, a temporary brace
On the beautiful, broken thing in this place.
[Chorus]
(Filtered, distant, depleted)
Weight and the wait and the hairline crack,
Something given that you don't get back.
[Outro]
Stained with the riverbed and the glue.
