Track Insight / Lyrics
Fryer hums and coffee steams
Twilight paints the gravel dreams
Regulars eat pie in booths
Watch beneath the tire tracks looms
Brass watch sleeps in gravel deep
Twilight secrets it will keep
Gears don't turn for passing feet
Time stands still on this dead street
Grease-stained hands wipe down the grill
Gravel crunches, standing still
Pocket watch of brass and gold
Buried stories left untold
Brass watch sleeps in gravel deep
Twilight secrets it will keep
Gears don't turn for passing feet
Time stands still on this dead street
Owner left it years ago
Dropped it where the headlights glow
Now it ticks in silent dark
Beating like a metal heart
Cold Moog bass begins to rise
Juno pads paint twilight skies
Linn
Drum snare cuts through the night
Watch keeps time without a light
Shift ends slow, the sun comes up
Gravel drinks the morning cup
Watch still rests where tires rolled
Brass and stone, a story told
Brass watch sleeps in gravel deep
Twilight secrets it will keep
Gears don't turn for passing feet
Time stands still on this dead street
Keys in hand, the cook walks out
Sees the watch without a doubt
Pocket heavy, brass in palm
Twilight's gift, a quiet calm
Brass watch sleeps in gravel deep
Twilight secrets it will keep
Gears don't turn for passing feet
Time stands still on this dead street
Gravel holds what time forgot
Brass ticks on, it asks for naught
