Track Insight / Lyrics
You stand beneath the iron rail
The summer heat is thick and pale
You watch the cobbler scrub the hide
While all the city slips outside
Buff the leather, make it glow
Watch the yellow river flow
Sanding down the rough and old
Turning copper into gold
A flash of silver in your lens
The street is where the movie ends
He rubs the wax in steady rings
While some old radio softly sings
Buff the leather, make it glow
Watch the yellow river flow
Sanding down the rough and old
Turning copper into gold
The smell of resin fills the air
A sudden look, a steady stare
You capture grease upon his thumb
The city beat is like a drum
Buff the leather, make it glow
Watch the yellow river flow
Sanding down the rough and old
Turning copper into gold
The sun dips low behind the brick
The clock on the corner gives a tick
He nods his head and sets the shoe
A tiny spark of something true
Buff the leather, make it glow
Watch the yellow river flow
Sanding down the rough and old
Turning copper into gold
Just a snapshot in the heat.
Gold upon a concrete street.
Polished gold.
