Track Insight / Lyrics
Mist rolls over Highway 66
Ghosts of Route Atlas, open wide the ditch
Out there, my wooden wreck
Lost in indigo, drifting, listing
Glass shards lit, neon puddles bright
Dancing lights on in the early night
Street signs blur, a slip of the tongue
Maybe it's dawn, or life's still young
Empty boat in the desert dark
Echoes of love, distant spark
Hollow hull, driftwood and bones
Where did I come, where will I roam?
Alone on the Arizona sands
Lonesome wooden bones in foreign lands
Forever adrift from where I was born
Midnight desert dream, isolation sworn
Scratch of the axle on the grade
Pavement's hum, the engine's shade
Sweep of headlights, falling night
Riding wind, with my rowboat light
Tonight the cars just pass me by
Their taillights flashes, whipping by
In their wake, the road begins to fade
Underneath the overpass, stars are bright
Railway ties, a rhythmic click, a lonely night
Stillness stirs in this desolate place
Will dawn bridge two worlds, one space?
River maiden, shorelark's call
Insistent voice, echoing, standing tall
In the mirror of the road
Does a new fate shine?
Alone on the Arizona sands
Lonesome wooden bones in foreign lands
Forever adrift from where I was born
Midnight desert dream, isolation sworn
Desert moon, an ancient orb
Adrift, afloat, I drift no more
Rowing home through the silent night
Till the lighthouse lamp takes first light
Whispers fade, the highway hum
Rowboat steady, castaways are home
