Lyrics
(Spoken, like a voicemail, over a gentle log drum beat)
Hey. It's me. It's Tuesday, just after five…
and the sun's gone thick honey over the Sapref tanks.
I'm up on the ridge, doing that thing again, you know?

(Sung, lush stacked harmonies, music swells)
Harbour gold on the water
Every colour has a sound

[Outro]
(Spoken, over fading sitar)
Okay. Just… thinking of you. Call me. Bye.
