Track Insight / Lyrics

Brass watch hangs caught in the porch rail splinters Gold hands frozen where the lightning entered Spanish moss drapes heavy on the water oak Time drowned deep where the alligators spoke Bayou brass don't tick for no man's wage Rust eats the spring in the copper cage Sun bleeds red through the cypress knees Watch keeps time with the memories Driver knows the roads that the flood erased Counts his miles by the lines on his face Meter stopped running years ago now Only the bayou collects his vow Bayou brass don't tick for no man's wage Rust eats the spring in the copper cage Sun bleeds red through the cypress knees Watch keeps time with the memories Harmonica moans through the muggy air Catfish rise like a silent prayer Porch swing groans on a chain gone slack Brass face turned blue by the fading black Bayou brass don't tick for no man's wage Rust eats the spring in the copper cage Sun bleeds red through the cypress knees Watch keeps time with the memories No fare to collect where the water stands No streets to drive through the drowning lands Just the watch and the wood and the weeping steel Turning slow on a wooden wheel Night takes the porch with a velvet hand Watch stops fighting the sucking sand Driver tips his hat to the dusk's last glow Some rides end where the bayous flow Bayou brass don't tick for no man's wage Rust eats the spring in the copper cage Sun bleeds red through the cypress knees Watch keeps time with the memories Brass sleeps deep where the dark water runs Time holds its breath for the rising sun
