Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light,
Glass reflects a starless night.
A silver gleam, a quiet hum,
Waiting for the roads to come.
Gears unwind with measured grace,
Watching asphalt claim this place.
Steel and brass, a fragile hold,
Stories in the heat unfold.
Open highway, endless line,
Tick-tock rhythm, yours and mine.
Desert whispers, passing free,
Pocket witness, silently.
Sun-bleached bones and Joshua trees,
Caravans carried on the breeze.
Each mile a memory I keep,
While the world is lost in sleep.
Open highway, endless line,
Tick-tock rhythm, yours and mine.
Desert whispers, passing free,
Pocket witness, silently.
Chrome reflections blur and fade,
Ghosts of journeys long since made.
Radio static, faint and low,
Where the lost and lonely go.
Open highway, endless line,
Tick-tock rhythm, yours and mine.
Desert whispers, passing free,
Pocket witness, silently.
I've seen the canyons carve the land,
Felt the shifting desert sand.
A lonely vigil, year by year,
Counting moments, holding near.
Rubber burning, engines roar,
Seeking something just offshore.
Every headlight, a fleeting spark,
Leaving shadows in the dark.
Open highway, endless line,
Tick-tock rhythm, yours and mine.
Desert whispers, passing free,
Pocket witness, silently.
Windblown dust and fading sun,
The long day's journey almost done.
Tick-tock, ticking, soft and low,
Watching the desert shadows grow.
