Track Insight / Lyrics
**Target Duration:** [3:30 – 4:
**Lyrics:**
Rain on the roof, reel in the air
Letter in hand, bridge standing there
Coffee steams beside the grill tonight
A sodden letter catches pale light
Regulars laugh at jokes you tell
But your eyes stay on the bridge as well
You count the steps on the misty bridge
Letter wet upon the wooden ridge
Footsteps echo where the river bends
Hope rises where the current ends
Ink runs blue like veins in cold stone
Words blur out where the rain has shone
You count each step past iron rail
Wonder if the sender failed
You count the steps on the misty bridge
Letter wet upon the wooden ridge
Footsteps echo where the river bends
Hope rises where the current ends
Harmonium drones low behind the bar
Foot tambourine taps where the stools are
Gang vocals rise on a reel so bright
You fold the letter, hold it tight
You count the steps on the misty bridge
Letter wet upon the wooden ridge
Footsteps echo where the river bends
Hope rises where the current ends
Mist clings low to water's black skin
You trace the name worn paper thin
Each boot strike writes a line anew
The river sings a chorus true
Grill goes cold, the night shift ends
Letter tucked where the pocket defends
You walk the planks where footsteps blend
Bridge and river become your friend
Dawn paints gold on wet wooden beams
Letter dry now, folded in seams
You count the steps back home through rain
Misty river knows your name
You count the steps on the misty bridge
Letter wet upon the wooden ridge
Footsteps echo where the river bends
Hope rises where the current ends
Footsteps fade on the misty bridge
Letter rests on the wooden ridge
