Track Insight / Lyrics
Glued to maps of ghosted lines
In the fogbound gloom of 1982
Neon crucified, a ghost light shines
In Amsterdam's streets, I'm lost beneath
Huddled close to canal bridges high
Fogged in, shrouded in Mist and Twigh
Synthetic whispers through the haze, a lullaby
Maps still warm from yesterday's touch
I'm tracing routes in solitude and daze
Counting bridges as if counting dreams
Echoes of a subway moan
In the silence, hearts still roam
Through the fog, I'll search alone
Until I find where love is home
In the city's soft, shoaling sleep
A channel's hidden truth I'll keep
Canal paths, bridge by bridge I'll creep
Until the fog lifts and secrets seep
Distances shrink, the city's skin
Paper thin, the map within
U-Turns through alleyways and grime
Mazes echoing with the rhyme
Of footsteps lost, yet still aligned
To the heartbeats pulsing in the night
Echoes of a subway moan
In the silence, hearts still roam
Through the fog, I'll search alone
Until I find where love is home
In the city's soft, shoaling sleep
A channel's hidden truth I'll keep
Canal paths, bridge by bridge I'll creep
Until the fog lifts and secrets seep
Legends woven in the mist
Of lovers' vows and ships that gist
The city's pulse beats in the night
As fog recedes, revealing sight
Of rails, of bridges spanning high
Where hearts that searched are met on by
Canal Veils, the maps that guide
Reveal the secrets, hearts abide
Through labyrinths of each bridge I stride
To where the fog lifts, love inside
Maps unfold, and the city gleams
As I find my way, my dreams
In the heart of Amsterdam's streams
Where fog and maps convey the themes
Of love and bridges, scuffed and keen
Canal Veils, the secrets gleam
