Track Insight / Lyrics
He climbs the ladder to the roof
The heavy boots are living proof
He carries copper in his hand
A quiet man in a quiet land
Golden wire in the morning sun
The long day's work has just begun
He rests his head by the attic pane
Watching the light wash away the rain
The attic window frames the blue
A sudden flash of honey hue
He sets his toolbox on the floor
A sudden peace behind the door
Golden wire in the morning sun
The long day's work has just begun
He rests his head by the attic pane
Watching the light wash away the rain
He smells the cedar and the pine
A silver thread, a slender line
The city hums a mile away
While he forgets the coming day
Steel and solder, cold and grey
He lets the minutes drift away
The warm glass presses on his skin
Letting the summer morning in
He closes eyes for one small beat
Away from noise and crowded street
A single moment, still and clear
The only sound is what he can hear
Golden wire in the morning sun
The long day's work has just begun
He rests his head by the attic pane
Watching the light wash away the rain
He stands back up to fix the lead
The golden thoughts inside his head
He packs the pliers in the case
A steady look upon his face
Golden wire in the morning sun
The long day's work has just begun
He rests his head by the attic pane
Watching the light wash away the rain
Golden wire, morning light
Holding on, holding tight
