Track Insight / Lyrics

Chip on my rim from a fall in July Dark roast steams in my belly, deep and brown Porch light flickers, a tired firefly Twilight settles on this gravel town Engine hum rolls up the county road Dust clouds bloom where the tires explode My handle grips the cool of coming night I am the witness, the ceramic light Ceramic sentinel on the porch rail Steam rises up in the twilight veil Gravel driveway waits for the tires' song I've been here waiting all day long Neighbors' laughter floats from the blue house My glaze reflects the first star's sharp prick A screen door slams, quiet as a mouse Cool air kisses my rim, cold and quick Engine hum rolls up the county road Dust clouds bloom where the tires explode My handle grips the cool of coming night I am the witness, the ceramic light Ceramic sentinel on the porch rail Steam rises up in the twilight veil Gravel driveway waits for the tires' song I've been here waiting all day long Shadows stretch like fingers on the stone My coffee darkens, the heat retreats A dog barks low at a passing ghost I keep my watch on the dusty street Ceramic sentinel on the porch rail Steam rises up in the twilight veil Gravel driveway waits for the tires' song I've been here waiting all day long Headlights sweep the porch, twin golden eyes Tires crush the gravel, a heavy sighs Car door opens, spilling warm voice sound Footsteps climb the steps, feet on ground Ceramic sentinel on the porch rail Steam rises up in the twilight veil Gravel driveway waits for the tires' song I've been here waiting all day long Hands wrap around me, cold meets the heat Sip taken slow, the day complete Steam curls up like a half-remembered hymn Peace settles deep in my ceramic limb Ceramic sentinel on the porch rail Steam rises up in the twilight veil Gravel driveway waits for the tires' song I've been here waiting all day long Cool porcelain rests in the driver's palm Twilight driveway, safe and calm
