Track Insight / Lyrics
You sit there in the dark, polishing leather worn
Memories in the strokes, like stories yet untold
The square's still waking up, the cafes yet unknown
Before the morning rush, it belongs to you alone
In your hands, the secrets, whispers of a night unspun
Dust motes dance in candlelight, in Rome's ancient stone
In this hush before the daybreak's glow
You're the guardian of a city's secrets kept beneath
Each cobbler's careful touch, a tale begins to flow
Of footsteps tracing histories, of dreams that rise and meet
Oh, the dawn is waiting, but you linger in the night
With every stroke, a story, an untold delight
In the dust and leather, magic takes its flight
As Rome comes alive, in the mornings first light
Your hands move with the rhythm, worn and weathered skin
A dance that's practiced, perfected, tales within each kin
The life of cobblestones beneath, the charm of wandering in
The ghosts of lovers passed and gone, of course and chance entwined
In this small, quiet world, you're both artist and confidant
Polishing the paths that lead, to destinations unknown
In this hush before the daybreak's glow
You're the keeper of the city's secrets kept beneath the flow
Each cobbler's careful touch, a tale begins to grow
Of footsteps tracing histories, of dreams that rise and show
Oh, the dawn is waiting, but you linger in the night
With every stroke, a story, an untold delight
In the dust and leather, magic takes its flight
As Rome comes alive, in the mornings first light
As morning light ascends, and shadows start to fade
The city's heartbeat pulses, and the day begins its stride
In this moment, in the balance 'tween the dark and bright
Your stories, too, are ready, to meet the morning light
Oh, the dawn is calling, and you know it's time to go
With tales that you've polished, honored, and let them grow
In the dust and leather, magic will forever glow
As Rome comes alive, and the dawn takes you in tow
In the silence, just before, the cafes open wide
You pack your tools away, and step into the morning's tide
The city's secrets carried, in your heart and hands anew
Your stories now unleashed, in all that Rome will do.
