Track Insight / Lyrics
Old paint peels off the depot wall
Winter wind makes the rafters call
I drive the meter, watch the rain
A lonely street is a heavy chain
Calico gold in the station light
Glowing like a diamond in the night
Soft orange fur and a steady gaze
Lost in a vintage summer haze
Three color coat on a concrete floor
Waiting for a ghost at the open door
I know the shortcuts, I know the way
A small warm soul at the end of day
Calico gold in the station light
Glowing like a diamond in the night
Soft orange fur and a steady gaze
Lost in a vintage summer haze
Copper and cream in a dusty beam
Waking up slow from a midnight dream
The fare is cheap when the air is cold
A little spark of a story told
Calico gold in the station light
Glowing like a diamond in the night
Soft orange fur and a steady gaze
Lost in a vintage summer haze
Steel tracks humming a low bass line
Counting the hours, reading the sign
One quiet moment, two strangers meet
Right where the asphalt hits the street
No more tickets and no more trains
Just a kind heart through the autumn rains
I'll park the car by the rusted gate
A little love is worth the wait
Calico gold in the station light
Glowing like a diamond in the night
Soft orange fur and a steady gaze
Lost in a vintage summer haze
Calico gold, stay bright
Just a little gold light
Keep it rolling now
(Fade out)
