I drove a million miles of gray
To find the light of one cold day
The fog is thick as winter wool
The city tide is heavy and full
Silver glass on the water deep
Where the frozen secrets sleep
Golden lines on a bridge of stone
Light that makes a man feel alone
You cut the shards to catch the glow
While the canal currents move slow
A prism held in a steady hand
Painting colors on a winter land
Silver glass on the water deep
Where the frozen secrets sleep
Golden lines on a bridge of stone
Light that makes a man feel alone
The meter clicks like a ticking clock
The boat is tied to a wooden dock
I see the red and the cobalt blue
Turning the mist into something new
Old wheels spin on a cobblestone
A different kind of road I've known
One man drives and one man draws
Living by the winter laws
The wind is biting through the coat
A lonely song from a distant boat
You trace the rim of a heavy pane
While I wait for the morning rain
Silver glass on the water deep
Where the frozen secrets sleep
Golden lines on a bridge of stone
Light that makes a man feel alone
A fare can take me anywhere
But this cold light is a heavy prayer
We watch the colors start to blend
Until the winter reaches the end
Silver glass on the water deep
Where the frozen secrets sleep
Golden lines on a bridge of stone
Light that makes a man feel alone
Just a glimmer in the gray
Drive on home, it's a long way.
