Track Insight / Lyrics
You stepped off the night bus, lens cap off
Fog swallows the rail yard, wet and soft
Your fingers trace the steel cable line
Amsterdam wakes on borrowed time
[Pre-
High above the Herengracht you climb
Breath clouds vanish in record time
One misstep and the wire sings
Winter wind clips your makeshift wings
You walk the wire where canals meet
Winter fog kisses your cold feet
Camera clicks but you don't pose
Amsterdam hides what nobody knows
Spotlight sweeps the tangled knot you made
Slide guitar screams like a serenade
Harmonica bends through the iron lace
You grin, suspended in frozen space
[Pre-
High above the Herengracht you climb
Breath clouds vanish in record time
One misstep and the wire sings
Winter wind clips your makeshift wings
You walk the wire where canals meet
Winter fog kisses your cold feet
Camera clicks but you don't pose
Amsterdam hides what nobody knows
Resonator hums through the Hammond drone
You're not stuck, you've made this height your own
Pedestrians pause with steaming cups
Applaud the girl who won't look up
Fog lifts slow as a curtain call
You unhook, drop ten feet, land tall
No crowd, no fee, no stage, no name
Just the canal reflecting your frame
Shutter snaps once — you, the wire, the same
You walk the wire where canals meet
Winter fog kisses your cold feet
Camera clicks but you don't pose
Amsterdam hides what nobody knows
Next bus leaves at six seventeen
You board with the trace of the unseen
Negative strips dry in your coat pocket
Amsterdam's wire-walker, no safety socket
You walk the wire where canals meet
Winter fog kisses your cold feet
Camera clicks but you don't pose
