Track Insight / Lyrics
I feel the grit of iron rail
My gold is thin, my glass is frail
A heavy chain, a rusted ring
I hear the river current sing
I slide along the bridge of gray
Where misty waters wash the day
I count the seconds, beat by beat
While strangers meet on frozen street
A thumbprint smudge upon my face
I track the seconds in this place
The river fog is thick and white
I hold the ghost of morning light
I slide along the bridge of gray
Where misty waters wash the day
I count the seconds, beat by beat
While strangers meet on frozen street
He grips my casing, knuckles cold
A story that is never told
He leans against the railing bar
I see the flicker of a star
I slide along the bridge of gray
Where misty waters wash the day
I count the seconds, beat by beat
While strangers meet on frozen street
The gears are tight, the spring is wound
I make a sharp and clicking sound
Two shaking hands, one sudden touch
A little spark that means too much
He slips me back inside his coat
A heavy feeling in his throat
We leave the river, leave the haze
Into the city's tangled maze
I slide along the bridge of gray
Where misty waters wash the day
I count the seconds, beat by beat
While strangers meet on frozen street
Tick, tick, tick. Just a beat. On the street.
Tick.
