Track Insight / Lyrics
Copper hands sweep past six o'clock
Brick mortar holds each boot heel firm
Maple leaves burn like signal flags
Salt air rusts the hinge and glass
Tick follows tock on Beacon Street
Footsteps counted, measured, kept
Autumn burns low and long and sweet
Time moves forward, doesn't wait
Wool collar turned against the gust
Breath clouds rise and break on glass
Watch chain pulls tight against the vest
Each step a notch on copper teeth
Tick follows tock on Beacon Street
Footsteps counted, measured, kept
Autumn burns low and long and sweet
Time moves forward, doesn't wait
Lamplighter rounds the corner slow
Flame catches in the crystal face
Numbers glow like harbor buoys
Green and red through gathering dark
Tick follows tock on Beacon Street
Footsteps counted, measured, kept
Autumn burns low and long and sweet
Time moves forward, doesn't wait
Gears turn clean behind the case
Spring unwinds, mainspring sings
No storm can stop the measured pace
No tide can wash the count away
Pocket snap clicks shut and final
Footfalls fade on frozen brick
Watch keeps counting in the dark
Faithful as the morning light
Tick follows tock on Beacon Street
Footsteps counted, measured, kept
Autumn burns low and long and sweet
Time moves forward, doesn't wait
Time moves forward, doesn't wait
Brass face catches the last pale sun
Harbor wind cuts across the common
