Track Insight / Lyrics
Raindrops roll in rivulets on the pane,
Soupy city light shining through the blind
As I watch the world beyond this faded scene,
In a quiet home where time seems to unwind
A relic of days when curiosity shone bright,
Now gathering dust, still seeking distant lights
A tiny window on far-off celestial seas,
Forgotten in closets, where wonders used to be
Oh, the telescopes of yesteryear, oh the sites,
Forgotten basements through the ages rise
Gazing out into a starry, endless night,
Their tales of awe in whispers, when the city's lights
The scratches of a needle on a record spin,
Jazz standards slow, the world beginning
As my lenses, tarnished yet unbroken in my skin,
Watch lovers pass by, a fleeting glance, then gone within
A relic of days when curiosity shone bright,
Now gathering dust, still seeking distant lights
A tiny window on far-off celestial seas,
Forgotten in closets, where wonders used to be
Oh, the telescopes of yesteryear, oh the sites,
Forgotten basements through the ages rise
Gazing out into a starry, endless night,
Their tales of awe in whispers, when the city's lights
A distant roar of rush hour traffic fades,
The midnight hour rising, streetlights blaze
The moon sits low and full against the haze,
I gaze upon the world's dark, reckless ways
In a world of sirens, neon, art in decay,
I'm still a wanderer, that tiny cosmic ray
Seeking a glimpse of beauty, free from the fray,
Though firmly rooted hermetically away
Oh, the telescopes of yesteryear, oh the sites,
Forgotten basements through the ages rise
Gazing out into a starry, endless night,
Their tales of awe in whispers, when the city's lights
So I keep my watch with patient, steadfast eyes,
A relic of the human heart's inquisitive rise
Until the morning light, the world's crazy noise,
And I, a faded beam, lose my cosmic joys
