Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in fading light,
A chipped teacup, a lonely sight.
Gravel crunches under slow feet,
Twilight whispers, bittersweet.
He winds the springs with careful hands,
A world of gears, he understands.
But clocks can't mend a restless soul,
Or fill the void, make him whole.
The driveway stretches, long and gray,
Another ending to the day.
A silent promise, softly kept,
Of dreams he's cradled, while others slept.
Gravel and gold, a fading hue,
Lost in the shadows, me and you.
Every tick echoes a distant plea,
Can time rewind and set him free?
He polishes brass with patient grace,
A fleeting smile upon his face.
The camera clicks, a captured frame,
A ghost of memory, whispering his name.
The driveway stretches, long and gray,
Another ending to the day.
A silent promise, softly kept,
Of dreams he's cradled, while others slept.
Gravel and gold, a fading hue,
Lost in the shadows, me and you.
Every tick echoes a distant plea,
Can time rewind and set him free?
A bus rolls by, a distant call,
He watches faces, one and all.
Each window holds a different tale,
Of wanderlust beyond the pale.
Gravel and gold, a fading hue,
Lost in the shadows, me and you.
Every tick echoes a distant plea,
Can time rewind and set him free?
He sees a future, blurred and bright,
A silver lining in the night.
A broken watch, a hopeful sign,
To leave the past, and redefine.
Gravel and gold, a fading hue,
Lost in the shadows, me and you.
Every tick echoes a distant plea,
Can time rewind and set him free?
He packs his bag, a worn-out case,
A photograph of time and space.
The gravel road, a final view,
A brand new journey, fresh and true.
Gravel and gold, a vibrant gleam,
Breaking the silence, living the dream.
Every tick now a victory won,
Time marches forward, 'til day is done!
Dust motes settle, soft and slow,
Gravel whispers, "Let it go." Gravel and gold…
Gravel and gold…
