Track Insight / Lyrics
You frame the square through brass and glass
Morning creeps on silent pass
No espresso steam, no tourist crowd
Just pigeons strut on wet stone proud
The telescope turns slow and sweet
Tracking corners, incomplete
A fountain wakes with silver spray
Before the city starts its day
Brass telescope, trace the line
Where shadow ends and dawn will shine
You click the shutter, steal the hush
Rome holds its breath in morning blush
Your backpack rests on cathedral steps
Film wind clicks, the moment preps
A stray cat yawns on Bernini's face
History sleeps in this quiet place
The lens extends, a golden arm
Reaching past the ancient charm
Each cobblestone gets named and known
Before the world comes rushing home
Brass telescope, trace the line
Where shadow ends and dawn will shine
You click the shutter, steal the hush
Rome holds its breath in morning blush
Vespa tires kiss the distant street
Your fingers tremble, cold and sweet
The aperture swallows up the space
Time suspended in this place
Brass telescope, trace the line
Where shadow ends and dawn will shine
You click the shutter, steal the hush
Rome holds its breath in morning blush
A shutter slams, the spell is broke
Cafe chairs wake with wooden smoke
Aprons tie, the espresso screams
The square dissolves in waking dreams
Brass telescope, trace the line
Where shadow ends and dawn will shine
You click the shutter, steal the hush
Rome holds its breath in morning blush
You pack the brass, the glass, the roll
Of captured light, of stolen soul
The telescope folds back to brass
Another city, another pass
Brass telescope, trace the line
Where shadow ends and dawn will shine
You click the shutter, steal the hush
Rome holds its breath in morning blush
Brass telescope, trace the line
Where shadow ends and dawn will shine
Film advances, frame by frame
Rome forgets your secret name
