Track Insight / Lyrics
In wide open spaces, where shadows crescendo
Echoes of footsteps, muted, long since gone
A violin keens on, an antique lament
As kettle steams, a kitchen's nocturne is bent
Counting silent steps, from dawn till dusk's descent
Dusty miles of prairie, where moonlight makes amends
Footfalls endless, tracing paths unseen
In the still of night, a lonesome melody is born
Beneath the starry sky, the lighthouse beams its call
While whispers of the wind, through reeds, do softly fall
The cello's sighing moan, the banjo's steady pluck
Create a haunting rhythm, to this lonesome, rustic buck
Through fields of swaying wheat, 'neath cottonwood's soft shade
The violin's tender strains, entice a wanderer's gaze
Any sign of life, a hope, amidst the endless plain
Yet still the footprints vanish, leaving naught but silent rain
Counting silent steps, from dawn till dusk's descent
Dusty miles of prairie, where moonlight makes amends
Footfalls endless, tracing paths unseen
In the still of night, a lonesome melody is born
Then, on the prairie's edge, a road appears, untrod
An invisible possiblity, beckoning bold
Yet out there in the unknown, the path remains untold
With every step to wander, comes a tale to be told
Counting silent steps, from dawn till dusk's descent
Dusty miles of prairie, where moonlight makes amends
Footfalls endless, tracing paths unseen
In the still of night, a lonesome melody is born
So the footfalls fade to echo, in the vast unknown
Where solitude and silence, sire a haunting tone
The violin's lamenting sigh, the lonesome, drifting wind
Conjure visions, from below, of a world left behind.
