Track Insight / Lyrics
Scratches of the tuning pegs
Moans of strings, they yield and beg
As daylight sizzles into blue
A lifetime of discord breaks through
Fading embers, glowing still
Rustication's old familiar thrill
In the driveway's crackling spine
His skills untwist the heart's design
Dusk descends, the day is sold
Untuned keys like scattered gold
He heeds the silhouettes that sway
In the driveway's pulsing gray
Footsteps echo, one by one
The gravel grinds beneath the sun
That whisks the motes of twilight air
Revealing what was once unfair
Fading embers, glowing still
Rustication's old familiar thrill
In the driveway's crackling spine
His skills untwist the heart's design
Dusk descends, the day is sold
Untuned keys like scattered gold
He heeds the silhouettes that sway
In the driveway's pulsing gray
The past persists through his touch
In every note, a story's hush
The piano's voice begins to rise
From the driveway's twilight sighs
Dusk descends, the day is won
Tuned keys burn like setting sun
He reads the silhouettes that stay
In the driveway's fading ray
As shadows lengthen and deepen still
The final tuning peg slips its thrill
The piano's voice dissolves to gray
Giving in to twilight's sway.
