Track Insight / Lyrics
Salt still clings to these wool coat sleeves
Thirty years of watching waves heave
Now I walk where gas lamps glow
Beacon Hill streets I've come to know
Pocket watch ticks, brass against chest
Each step measured, put to the test
Red brick path winds, copper leaves fall
Time keeps walking, counting it all
Your hands once trimmed the wick at dawn
Now they trace where time has gone
Cold wind bites the Charles River bend
Seasons turn, they don't pretend
Pocket watch ticks, brass against chest
Each step measured, put to the test
Red brick path winds, copper leaves fall
Time keeps walking, counting it all
Fog horn memory in my chest
Guiding ships to safe harbor rest
Now I count each leather sole
Each footfall marks this Boston bowl
Pocket watch ticks, brass against chest
Each step measured, put to the test
Red brick path winds, copper leaves fall
Time keeps walking, counting it all
Winter comes but spring returns
Lantern light still brightly burns
Watch hands move, they never cease
Stubborn hope finds its release
Acorn caps on weathered stone
History walks these paths alone
Two voices match the watch's beat
Autumn pavement, steady feet
Pocket watch ticks, brass against chest
Each step measured, put to the test
Red brick path winds, copper leaves fall
Time keeps walking, counting it all
Brass and brick, we stand tall
Brass ticks, footsteps fade away
Dawn breaks on the promenade
