Track Insight / Lyrics
Pocket warm in wool coat lining
Master's breath clouds gaslight shining
Cobblestones drink the winter rain
Gear counts beats through window pane
Tick tock, meter running cold
Stories measured, never old
Spring unwinds on cobblestone bed
Dreams of copper fill my head
Fare collected in frozen breath
Journey measured, life and death
Winding down on cobblestone bed
Rest your teeth, brass and lead
Tick tock, meter running cold
Stories measured, never old
Spring unwinds on cobblestone bed
Dreams of copper fill my head
Proverb etched in metal skin
Time waits for no fare to begin
Winter holds the alley tight
Gear sleeps deep through the night
Master's hands will wake at dawn
Wind the spring, the day is born
Till then I rest in pocket dark
Guard the seconds, play my part
Cobblestones hum a lullaby
Morning frost on copper face
New fare enters, starts the chase
Cobblestones wake to wheel and hoof
Gear engages, century proof
Tick tock, meter running cold
Stories measured, never old
Spring unwinds on cobblestone bed
Dreams of copper fill my head
One more winding, one more ride
Time's the fare, nowhere to hide
Meter drops, drive done
Brass sleeps warm in winter sun
Tick tock, the night is gone
