Rusty metal on a wooden floor
Leaning right against the attic door
Waiting for the morning golden glare
Catching all the light within the air
Count the footsteps passing by the glass
Watch the summer city colors pass
Dripping slow in a steady little beat
Looking down upon the busy street
Orange paint is peeling off the rim
Everything is looking grey and dim
Until the sun hits the attic pane
Waking up the garden from the rain
Silver cans and old enamel bowls
Filling up the quiet empty holes
Watching every stranger walk the line
Counting every second of the time
Count the footsteps passing by the glass
Watch the summer city colors pass
Dripping slow in a steady little beat
Looking down upon the busy street
Check the focus on the polaroid
Filling up a lonely little void
Snap a picture of the yellow light
Keep the morning vivid and bright
Steel is cold but the morning is warm
Waiting for the coming summer storm
Copper wires and a broken radio
Watching all the heavy traffic go
Count the footsteps passing by the glass
Watch the summer city colors pass
Dripping slow in a steady little beat
Looking down upon the busy street
One more step.
Just one more step.
One, two, three.
