Track Insight / Lyrics
She boards the bus with a camera eye
Morning light paints the highway sky
Clicks the shutter, steals the day
Each frame a mile, each mile a way
The cassette hums in her pack
Counting steps on the railroad track
Attic window catches dawn
Tape rolls on, the night is gone
Footsteps echo on the floor
Counts each step to morning's door
Dusty spools turn slow and sweet
Rhythm matches walking feet
Worn cassette counts footsteps past the pane
Morning sun kisses the attic again
Each click a step, each step a song
She's been walking all night long
Photos dry on a makeshift line
Silver shadows, moments mine
The tape rewinds with a tired sigh
Footsteps fade as days go by
She writes the date on the plastic case
A map of miles in a fragile space
Worn cassette counts footsteps past the pane
Morning sun kisses the attic again
Each click a step, each step a song
She's been walking all night long
Silence stretches, the motor stops
Sunlight floods the attic tops
No more counting, no more sound
Just the morning, warm and round
She lifts the lens to catch the gold
Stories develop, brave and bold
Down the stairs and out the door
Cassette tucked in her coat once more
Bus engine coughs, the city wakes
She frames the streets, the risk she takes
Each click a footprint, each print a track
The tape rolls on, there's no turning back
Evening comes, the reel runs thin
Footsteps counted, days begin
She smiles at the attic window's grin
Morning sun tucked deep within
Camera rests, the tape rewinds
A thousand steps, a thousand lines
Worn cassette counts footsteps past the pane
Morning sun kisses the attic again
Each click a step, each step a song
She's been walking all night long
Footsteps fade on magnetic tape
Morning light, a soft escape
Click the shutter, keep the pace
Cassette heart beats in this place
