Track Insight / Lyrics

He leaves the humming reel behind The silver frames are all aligned He walks where terra cotta glows Where the wild Jasminum grows [Pre- He feels the grit beneath his shoe The evening sky a heavy blue The city hums a low refrain Like water soaking through the grain High above the zinc roof tiles He tracks the garden's quiet miles Slow growth in the Paris air A steady peace he finds out there He tends the mint in clay pots deep While the tired cinemas all sleep He knows the Latin name for green The softest shade he's ever seen [Pre- He feels the grit beneath his shoe The evening sky a heavy blue The city hums a low refrain Like water soaking through the grain High above the zinc roof tiles He tracks the garden's quiet miles Slow growth in the Paris air A steady peace he finds out there The lens is cold the light is gone He waits until the gray of dawn He prunes the vine with steady hand Across this small and stony land High above the zinc roof tiles He tracks the garden's quiet miles Slow growth in the Paris air A steady peace he finds out there No flicker now no flashing white Just velvet leaves in amber light The soil is rich the root is strong Where all the quiet things belong High above the zinc roof tiles He tracks the garden's quiet miles Slow growth in the Paris air A steady peace he finds out there The projectionist puts down the shear The scent of damp earth drawing near He breathes the musk of summer loam And finally he feels at home High above the zinc roof tiles He tracks the garden's quiet miles Slow growth in the Paris air A steady peace he finds out there Zinc roof tiles and garden miles Steady peace in velvet files
