Track Insight / Lyrics
He stands where the concrete turns to green
The quietest player you have seen
His bow cuts the air in a silver line
Watching the morning start to shine
Counting every step on the gravel road
Carrying a heavy wooden load
One for the pine trees, two for the pole
Playing a song that can touch the soul
The telephone wires hum a low grey tune
Waiting for the rising of the noon
He counts every heel and every toe
Watching the lonely strangers go
The resin is thick on the horsehair string
He listens to how the metal rings
A copper coin drops in the velvet case
A small little smile on a tired face
Counting every step on the gravel road
Carrying a heavy wooden load
One for the pine trees, two for the pole
Playing a song that can touch the soul
The storm left a scent of wet cedar bark
The sky is a canvas, no longer dark
He closes his eyes and he finds the key
Floating away like a leaf on the sea
The forest edge meets the edge of the town
Where the heavy yellow leaves fall down
He tallies the rhythm of walking feet
Until the long circle is complete
Counting every step on the gravel road
Carrying a heavy wooden load
One for the pine trees, two for the pole
Playing a song that can touch the soul
One, two, three, four
Counting the steps once more
Just one more step
Just one more step
