Track Insight / Lyrics
Last train shivers under stone
Worn guitar and case alone
Diesel drums beneath my feet
Fretboard hums a restless beat
Good night, city, let me go
Hold the notes I shouldn't show
Good night, stranger, lose the fight
Turn the static into light
Red brake lights are painting glass
Footsteps blur and disappear
Platform echoes drown the past
Half the station disappears
Good night, city, let me go
Hold the notes I shouldn't show
Good night, stranger, lose the fight
Turn the static into light
Vaulted darkness, silver fare
Someone coughing through the air
Fingerpicked hymn once shared
Now the platform keeps the prayer
Clock strikes midnight, cold and thin
Every window holds a grin
Through a doorway paved with light
I step into the morning light
Good night, city, let me go
Hold the notes I shouldn't show
Good night, stranger, lose the fight
Turn the static into light
My hands remember every chord
A distant echo finds the board
One half-sung hymn slips free
And leaves its harmony with me
The clean case clicks beneath my arm
Its shadow crosses every seam
I tuck one old hymn in my heart
And follow one forgotten dream
Good night, city, watch me fly
Hold the notes beneath the sky
Good night, stranger, clear your eyes
We were thunder in disguise
Good night, city, let me go
Carry hymns the trains don't know
Click the case and pull it tight
Make one last bow into the light
Pack the hymn, let silence keep
The street will hum me in its sleep
