Track Insight / Lyrics
Brass hands rest in clover deep
Where mower blades have gone to sleep
The chain catches morning dew
Blue steel warming cold and true
Time grows wild in copper veins
Roots drink seconds, roots drink rains
No face to wind, no numbers turn
Just green and gold where embers burn
Sprocket teeth kiss dandelion heads
Spring unwinds in golden threads
Oil scent climbs the hawthorn fence
Each tick a seed, each tock a sense
Time grows wild in copper veins
Roots drink seconds, roots drink rains
No face to wind, no numbers turn
Just green and gold where embers burn
Workshop window frames the scene
Sawdust floats on light unseen
Grandfather's initials scratched inside
Now read by beetle, read by tide
Time grows wild in copper veins
Roots drink seconds, roots drink rains
No face to wind, no numbers turn
Just green and gold where embers burn
Altos hum where seconds fell
Harmony in root and cell
The case pops open, hinge sings low
A minor chord where time won't go
Time grows wild in copper veins
Roots drink seconds, roots drink rains
No face to wind, no numbers turn
Just green and gold where embers burn
Brass hands sleeping in the fern
No return, no return, no return
