Track Insight / Lyrics
Coast to coast, a guardian stays
Wary eyes on the highway rays
Overpass watch, the dark of night
For the detour, temptation's light
I spot his silhouette, rough jeans fade
Leather jacket ruff, eyes stare out to sea
Whiskey-stained lips, worn trench coat laid
Rough around the edges, the mysteries he'd reveal
Slowly he approaches, giving me a wink
From the neon abyss to the darkness he thinks
Lurking in shadows, secrets he won't abide
A modern lone wolf, in my guiding light
Oh, the coastkeeper's call, ringing in my head
A midnight siren's lure, a promise not yet said
In the highway's lonely scream, an answer I'm finding
Coast to coast, across these endless night's binding
Talk is cheap, on whiskey-soaked breath
Tales of crime scenes, paychecks barely meet
Glimpses of truth, in the eyes so blue
A troubled soul, abandoned long ago, anew
Slowly he approaches, giving me a wink
From the neon abyss to the darkness he thinks
Lurking in shadows, secrets he won't abide
A modern lone wolf, in my guiding light
Oh, the coastkeeper's call, ringing in my head
A midnight siren's lure, a promise not yet said
In the highway's lonely scream, an answer I'm finding
Coast to coast, across these endless night's binding
And there's that pull, that unknown thrill
In the dark highway's endless, starless hill
He's got a job, a patience to bear
Watching over us, with the night's own care
Oh, the coastkeeper's call, ringing in my head
A midnight siren's lure, a promise not yet said
In the highway's lonely scream, an answer I'm finding
Coast to coast, across these endless night's binding
Under the overpass, in the flick'ring street
He disappears into the neon's fleeting beat
Leaving me with the repeat of his tired sigh
A fleeting shadow danced, in the highway's lonely sky
