Track Insight / Lyrics
Steam on the glass, a silver sheen,
Kitchen quiet, a forgotten scene.
Clock ticks slow in the dim cafe,
Waiting for light to break the gray.
Burnished metal, a silent face,
Pointing eastward at a slower pace.
Years I've watched him, fixed and true,
Counting storms and skies of blue.
Copper still, turning slow,
Whispering winds where shadows go.
Lost in thought, a steady guide,
While the world rushes swiftly by outside.
Kettle whistles, a mournful cry,
Another coffee for a passing eye.
He doesn't flinch at the morning light,
Just spins and gleams, a welcome sight.
Copper still, turning slow,
Whispering winds where shadows go.
Lost in thought, a steady guide,
While the world rushes swiftly by outside.
Grease on the griddle, a familiar smell,
Stories whispered, secrets tell.
He's seen the lovers, the lonely too,
Every heartache, shining through.
Copper still, turning slow,
Whispering winds where shadows go.
Lost in thought, a steady guide,
While the world rushes swiftly by outside.
Rust on his shoulders, a weathered grace,
Holding steady in this lonely place.
A silent witness, a faithful friend,
Until the very, very end.
Empty booths and a fading tune,
Another late night arriving soon.
He keeps on turning, a constant plea,
For quiet moments, just for me.
Copper still, turning slow,
Whispering winds where shadows go.
Lost in thought, a steady guide,
While the world rushes swiftly by outside.
Copper still, turning slow!
Steam fades away, the light appears,
Washing away all the silent tears.
He spins and gleams, then fades from view,
Copper still, forever true.
