Track Insight / Lyrics
Rain taps the roof of the all-night grill
Coffee steam curls, the fryer sits still
A wet envelope rests on the counter top
Boots splash past the pump, they don't stop
Letter soaked through with the midnight rain
Address blurred out by the weather's stain
Footsteps count slow on the cracked concrete
Gas sign flickers on the empty street
Crossroads letter holds a secret deep
Promises made that the night will keep
Each step a drum beat, each drop a sound
Lost words found on the holy ground
Cook flips a burger, wipes his hands on rag
Watches the traveler drag his heavy bag
Envelope trembles in the wind's cold breath
Headlights sweep wide, cheating death
Crossroads letter holds a secret deep
Promises made that the night will keep
Each step a drum beat, each drop a sound
Lost words found on the holy ground
Regulars laugh at the counter's end
Jokes fly thick where the coffee blends
But eyes keep drifting to the glass door
Where the letter waits on the checkered floor
Crossroads letter holds a secret deep
Promises made that the night will keep
Each step a drum beat, each drop a sound
Lost words found on the holy ground
Rain eases up, the sign hums low
Footsteps pause where the puddles glow
A hand reaches out, fingers brush the seal
Truth unfolds like a spinning wheel
Diner clock ticks, the night shifts gear
Silence stretches, then the coast is clear
Paper tears open, lines bloom bright
Morning comes with a softer light
Cook serves a plate with a grin and a nod
Letter tucked safe in a coat pocket broad
Footsteps fade out down the highway stretch
Crossroads quiet, holding its catch
Crossroads letter holds a secret deep
Promises made that the night will keep
Each step a drum beat, each drop a sound
Lost words found on the holy ground
Rain taps the roof, the grill goes cold
Story told in the dawn's pale gold
Crossroads letter, footsteps gone
Morning breaks, the night moves on
